(Full text of a statement. Contact details below.)

PLEASANT HILL, Calif., March 14 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ -- Alldomains.com, Hostcentric's Domain Services Group announced today that they are offering pre-registrations for .com, .net, and .org domain names in Middle Eastern character sets of Arabic, Hebrew, and Hindi; and Southeast Asian character sets of Vietnamese, Thai, and Indonesian slated for official registration by VeriSign Global Registry Services Thursday, April 5th.

In October 2000, Alldomains.com became the first ICANN accredited registrar in the world to be listed by VeriSign Global Registry Services as a Multilingual Technology Provider when it began providing Chinese, Japanese, and Korean domain names. With this latest expansion into new Asian and Middle Eastern character sets, Alldomains.com is continuing to help make the Internet a global medium and provide expanded e-commerce opportunities to its customers.

"With the majority of the world's population speaking languages other than English, these new character sets provide an opportunity for organizations to register domains in their native language," said Fred Pounds, CEO of Hostcentric. "Global companies will also have the opportunity to identify themselves to many countries and protect their identities around the world."

"Our integration of these new character sets goes to the heart of our commitment -- to be at the forefront of new technologies and to remain nimble in the marketplace. At a time when many companies are slashing R&D budgets, I'm pleased that our business plan allows us to stay on the leading edge of new developments," said Chris Bura, President of Hostcentric's Domain Services Group.
