Robert W. Monster (born 1966 or 1967) is a Dutch-American technology executive and the founder, former chief executive officer, and current chairman of Epik, a domain registrar and web host known for providing services to websites that host far-right, neo-Nazi, and extremist content.[2][4][5][6]

He has received media attention in relation to Epik, particularly surrounding his 2018 statements about Epik customer Gab,[2][7] a social network known for its far-right userbase.[8] He has also received attention for controversial statements, including some in which he has promoted various conspiracy theories.[9][2][10][11]

Monster was removed as Epik CEO in September 2022,[12] after he co-mingled millions of dollars of money belonging to Epik customers into general company spending at Epik.[13] Monster was sued by Matthew Adkisson for misrepresentation, embezzlement and misappropriation, after he had $307,000 stolen by Rob Monster as part of the co-mingling process.[14] Many other customers are still owed money, including DomainEmpire, who are owed $1.5 million.[15]
