SAN DIEGO, May 3, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dot VN, Inc., () (Pink Sheets:DTVI), an Internet and Telecommunications Company and the exclusive online global domain name registrar for the Country of Vietnam ("the Company" or "Dot VN"), announced today since its official launch 5 days ago on April 28, 2011, the Vietnamese Native Language Internationalized Domain Names ("Vietnamese IDN") have exceeded 101,000 registrations.
The launch, hosted at VNNIC's headquarters in Hanoi, Vietnam on April 28th, featured key note addresses from VNNIC, Key-Systems and Dot VN with additional guests from the government, local partners and resellers and the Vietnamese national media.
The Vietnamese IDN launch seems to be following the current trend in native language domain name adoption by non-English speaking countries. Recent native language IDN launches by other countries such as Russia have been well received with over 821,000 Russian IDNs registered since its launch in November of 2010.
"We are amazed with the response that we have seen to the Vietnamese IDNs," said Dot VN CEO Thomas Johnson. "The number of registrations has far exceeded both VNNIC's expectations and our own. Based on the response we expect to accelerate our plans to capitalize on the wide spread adoption of the IDNs that we have seen over the past 5 days."
