San Diego, California - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - January 11, 2006 - Domain name registration company, Dot VN, Inc., the official authorized global registrar for the Country of Vietnam, has reported that the total number of .vn domain names registered by the Company via online has increased over 350% since 2005.
New .vn registrations under Dot VN management grew from 919 total domain names registered in 2005 to over 4,100 for the 2006 year. In the aggregate, the total number .vn domain registration has increased as well. Based on statistics from the Vietnam Network Information Center (”VNNIC”), the administrative entity overseeing the development of the internet in Vietnam, .vn domain registration grew from 22,629 domain names registered in 2005 to over 34,000 in 2006, an increase of nearly 50%. Contributing factors to the Company’s sky-rocketing growth in domain registration are believed to be the rapid growth of Vietnam’s economy, the expansion of the Internet in the region, and Dot VN’s aggressive marketing/promotion of the 2nd level release (i.e. www.CompanyName.VN) for the .VN ccTLD (country code Top Level Domain).

The dramatic increase in the number of domains registered by Dot VN via the Internet in 2006 has exceeded our expectations. Further, Vietnam’s internet expansion is growing more rapidly than anticipated, a trend which we anticipate continuing in the coming year. We look forward to working jointly with Dot VN to service the growing number of internet users, as we begin building the first commercial Internet Data Center (IDC) to host these recently registered domains.”
