SAN DIEGO, May 18, 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 that since it's official launch of the Vietnamese Native Language Internationalized Domain Names ("Vietnamese IDN") on April 28, 2011, registrations have exceeded 150,000 domain names.
Each Vietnamese IDN registered will be bundled with a free Dot VN web editor account which allows registrants to instantly create a website by uploading up to 5 MB of their own content and images.

"Based on our current growth, it is possible that we may surpass the total number of standard ".vn" registrations in the coming weeks thereby effectively doubling the size of the Vietnamese Internet.
