.ARCHI to be Launched on April 8, 2014

Paris (ots/PRNewswire) -

Architects will soon be able to have their own Internet extension

Starting from April 8, 2014 the world's architects will be able to
use Internet addresses with .ARCHI extensions, set aside exclusively
for them. For professionals and web surfers: more clarity and better
identification of the profession and its members in a saturated web
environment.

.ARCHI: more than 1.5 million architects targeted in the world!

Developed in close partnership with the International Union of
Architects (UIA http://www.uia-architectes.org) .ARCHI is intended
for architects and is strictly reserved for them and their
organizations worldwide (agencies, member sections, schools, media,
museums, etc.).

Long awaited, this new extension has already received support from
renowned architects, such as Paul Andreu (Roissy airports 1 and 2,
the Peking Opera, etc), and Corinne Vezzoni (Palais des Festivals in
Cannes, the Marseilles Tramway, the MuCEM Centre for Conservation and
Resources in Marseille).

Available for purchase from April 8, 2014, the .ARCHI extension
will allow architects:

- To be easily identified on the Internet

- To have simpler web addresses

- To differentiate themselves by showing their membership of the
profession.

- To build pertinent and meaningful Web identities, allowing them
to be more visible and better develop their activities.

"We are very happy to see the enthusiasm of the global community
of architects for the new .ARCHI extension, as can be evidenced from
the continuous flow of advance orders we are getting from almost 100
different countries," says Godefroy Jordan, Starting Dot's President
and founder. "This involvement reflects the growing commitment of
architects with a Web presence to communicate with their customers
and their environment."

A solution to the congestion and saturation of domain names

In 2011, 200 million domain names were registered (over 100
million of which were .com). More than 90% of French and English
dictionary words have been registered.

Starting Dot was officially chosen by ICANN, the international
body responsible for Internet domain names, to administer .ARCHI
globally, for which Starting Dot has adopted a community model. The
young company is reserving registration of the .ARCHI domain names
for professionals. It will carry out inspections and will supervise
the .ARCHI extension in partnership with representatives from the
profession through a Supervision Committee, presided by a director of
the UIA.
