Dot VN, Inc. Partners with Key-Systems GmbH to Provide Registry Management System for Vietnamese Native Language Internationalized Domain Names








SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA – March 21, 2011, Dot VN, Inc., (http://www.dotvn.com) (OTC Trading Symbol: DTVI), an Internet and Telecommunications Company and the exclusive online global domain name registrar for the Country of Vietnam (“Dot VN” or the “Company”), announced today that it has executed a strategic partnership agreement with Key-Systems GmbH, a leading Internet services provider based in St. Ingbert, Germany (“Key-Systems”) to use its “KSregistry System” to provide the registration and management platform which will power the Vietnamese Native language Internationalized Domain Names (the
“IDN” or “IDNs”).





Dot VN, through its wholly owned subsidiary Hi-Tek Multimedia, Inc., has been designated as the sole partner in developing and managing the IDNs by the Vietnam Internet Network Information Centre (“VNNIC”), the Vietnamese agency which oversees the management and operation of the Vietnamese internet.  The Vietnamese IDNs will be among the first TLDs to utilize Key-Systems’ next generation registry platform.  Designed to be a complete end to end registry solution, the KSregistry System provides Dot VN with a comprehensive set of management tools at the registry, registrar and reseller level.  Dot VN and Key-Systems have already begun working with VNNIC, to integrate the KSregistry System with VNNIC’s network.  Based on the current project timeline, the
Company expects to provide open registration of the IDNs by April 28, 2011.





“In light of the importance of the IDN project it was important to secure the very best technical infrastructure and management tools available.  Dot VN will be responsible in large part for much of the day to day management and operations of the entire IDN Domain System and we believe that the KSregistry System is the ideal platform to revolutionize the way that Vietnamese domain names are registered,” said Thomas Johnson, CEO of Dot VN, Inc. “Key-Systems has distinguished itself as the premier registrar of country code domain names worldwide and it is our plan to capitalize a successful Vietnamese IDN launch to serve as the basis for a model which we can replicate throughout the rest of this region.”





Since its founding in 1998 Key-Systems has emerged as one of the leading European companies for the distribution and management of domains (internet addresses). Key-Systems administers more than 3 million internet addresses for more than 70,000 retail and corporate customers and 1,700 resellers from more than 200 countries.
