The Directors of Top Level Domain Holdings Limited (AIM: TLDH.L), the only publicly traded company focused exclusively on acquiring and operating new generic top-level domains ("gTLD"), are delighted to announce that the Board of Directors of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") approved the new gTLD program at its extraordinary meeting held in Singapore today.

As well as overall approval of the new gTLD program, the ICANN Board also approved the following details:

- The window for submitting applications for new gTLDs will open on January 12, 2012 and will close on April 12, 2012.

- Initial evaluations of applications by ICANN are estimated to be completed in November 2012.

- The communications period will begin today on June 20, 2011.

The final vote among the 16 voting members of the ICANN Board was thirteen in favor, with one opposed and two abstentions.

Antony Van Couvering, CEO of TLDH and Minds + Machines, commented:

"We applaud the ICANN Board's decision, which marks an historic shift in the way consumers, brands and communities will interact on the Web.

"The extensive policy development period resulted in a program that has been scrutinized and commented upon in detail and reflects the consensus of the entire ICANN community.

"We are delighted to progress to the next stage of the new gTLD program which will mean making strategic investments and, through our registry services business, Minds + Machines, helping organisations, cities, and communities maximise the potential of this far reaching development on the Internet."

In May 2011, the Company announced that it was supporting the bid for .MUMBAI which has the exclusive backing of the city of Mumbai.

Recent news ......... 30 September 2011
The Directors of Top Level Domain Holdings Limited (AIM:TLDH.L), the only publicly traded company focused exclusively on acquiring and operating new generic top-level domains ("gTLDs"), confirm that Dot Eco LLC, in which TLDH holds a 25% interest, will apply for the .eco gTLD in the application window next year. Dot Eco LLC continues to enjoy the strong support of major environmental groups with millions of members.

Under the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers' ("ICANN") rule book for gTLD applications, an auction will be used as a final tie-breaker where there are contending applications for the same proposed gTLD, except for specific groups or associations who can demonstrate that the gTLD uniquely represents their community. The Board believes that no .eco application can be classified as such a non-compete community gTLD and the award therefore of the .eco gTLD will be ultimately settled by an agreement between the competitors, or failing that by an auction.

Peter Dengate Thrush, Chairman of Top Level Domain Holdings, said:

"The non-compete benefits reserved for certain gTLD applications from true communities are there to protect specific groups or associations who can genuinely claim to represent a given name or descriptor. It is not an invitation to start a race for celebrity endorsement, which will have no material impact on the application process. As a result, we believe the Dot Eco LLC consortium is exceptionally well placed to compete in every respect of its .eco application and run that gTLD in a meaningful manner. We are therefore delighted to continue give it our full infrastructural and financial support."

Antony Van Couvering, CEO of Top Level Domains Holdings, added:

"While the association of celebrities with a proposed gTLD may be useful for groups needing to attract investment, what ICANN requires for a winning application is a solid business plan from a robust operator that is able to meet the stringent requirements for successfully running a critical piece of Internet infrastructure. Dot Eco LLC has that as well as a real plan to provide significant funding to groups working to protect our planet."

RHPS Update TOP LEVEL DOMAIN HOLDINGS (TLDH): Dot Eco LLC, in which TLDH holds a 25% interest, will apply for the .eco generic Top Level Domain in the application window next year.

Generic Top Level Domains: debate raises the profile

Press reports that Rod Beckstrom, former coordinator of Web security forthe Obama administration is jetting around the world to market Web suffixes that he says will revolutionise the Internet.

One view is that expansion of the current 22 generic top-level domain names (.com ornd .org) to, for example, .porsche, .nfl or .bank has gained little traction months before applications begin. Porsche AG, Vodafone Group Plc and Puma SE say the high costs of the exclusive addresses - starting at about $1 million for five years - outweigh the benefits of marketing opportunities.

If corporates are so far reticent (Canon Inc. and Deloitte have so far shown enthusiasm) other bodies such as localities, ethnic groups or general themes such as .dubai, .zulu or .sport. are indicating interest. London plans to apply, also New York, Paris, Sydney, Rome, Berlin and Mumbai.

Commentator Martin Lindstrom, author of best-selling Buyology: Truth and Lies About Why We Buy asks: Why should people suddenly step up and spend another $2 million? for a gTLD. In our view, however, $2m to secure, for example, .Coke is peanuts in the marketing lexicon of such a major brand. And as the recently-bid Group NBT has shown, the role of a domain name registrar extends to protection of name "clusters" and fraud prevention, which demand diligence and technical expertise.

Perhaps the final word on corporate positioning is best provided by Frank Shulz, head of central Europe for MarkMonitor: Companies may be unwilling to speak out in favour of the domains because they dont want to share their plans with competitors Its a big competitive advantage to leave rivals in the dark.

Top Level Domain Holdings well positioned - Proactiveinvestors (UK)

TLDH will be involved in the issuing process for Web site domains next year

Internet addressing specialist Top Level Domain Holdings (LON:TLDH) is well positioned to take advantage of the start of the issue process for new Web site domains when the process begins early next year. So says house broker Daniel Stewart, which said in a research note published today that the company is well placed to both submit its own generic Top Level Domain applications as well as efficiently manage the complex process for others.

In terms of how the market will develop, Daniel Stewart said that one view is that the idea of Web brands such as .porsche, .nfl or .bank has gained little traction due to high perceived cost. However, there is keen interest from localities and ethnic or interest groups, e.g. .dubai, .zulu, or .sport, it said. London plans to apply, also New York, Paris, Sydney, Rome, Berlin and Mumbai.

The broker also disagrees with the view that organisations would not be prepared to fork out millions of dollars for a generic TLD. In our view... US$2 million to secure, for example, .Coke is peanuts in the marketing lexicon of such a major brand.
Daniel Stewart forecasts that TLDH will turn over 0.4 million this year, while it expects revenue to increase to 2.9 million in 2012. The firms pre-tax loss is also expected to increase, however, from 0.8 million this year to 3.9 million in 2012.
Daniel Stewart has set a target price of 20 pence for the shares, which were trading at 7.5 pence each near the close on Friday.

15 - 10 - 2011 -- Only Three Months Left To Stake Your Claim On The Net Says KetMo.com Chief

Thousands perhaps hundreds of thousands of new domain name extensions due to be releases starting in January 2012 will make getting your business found on the net more difficult.

There has never been a more important time and reason to stake your claim on the net by owning one or more .com domain names says Scott Alliy an Internet marketing SEO and ecommerce business expert and President of KetMo.com a domain name reseller.

ICANN has authorized the creation and release of an uncounted number of new domain name extensions which will in this authors opinion confuse internet users and unnecessarily add to the already overblown number of choices of extensions that Internet users already face.

In the end says Scott the Internet overseers can add as many right of the dot extensions as they wish to but the confusion will lead to marketing madness and cause confused Internet surfers to retreat to the old familiar .com extension of whatever product service or website that they are searching for.

As the chaos and confusion rise and Internet surfers retreat owners of meaningful and memorable domain names with a dotcom extension will be the beneficiary.

Choosing a great meaningful and memorable dotcom is easy says Scott and contrary to reports there are still many dotcoms that have never been registered and thousands of dotcoms listed for sale in the Aftermarket on reputable domain name reseller websites like KetMo.com.

The best tip that I can provide anyone searching for a good meaningful and memorable domain name that they can use to build a brand for their online business is to keep it simple and think like an Internet user.

People are too busy and have too much on their minds to remember every website they visited says Scott. Choosing some 4 character acronym may be good for associations but for ordinary business owners a domain name that includes keywords or a key phrase that is in line with what a user might type in a search query is the best choice.

For example Scott says if you are trying to attract consumers with interest in Skin care products instead of a catchy unknown name they probably won't remember and most likely won't share with others why not choose a name like sexierskin.com a domain name which is listed among many others at KetMo.com in the Consumer Goods category.

This may be the best time and certainly the last time to act during a limited and closing window to secure a name to take advantage of all the publicity and hype about the Internet and websites and domain names that is sure to increase as we approach the release and flood of new domain name extensions says Scott.

Now is also a tremendous opportunity for entrepreneurs and established Internet business owners to get in the game or increase their holdings to take advantage of the tremendous exposure to Internet businesses which is sure to arise from the expected enormous media blitz about the release of the new Top Level domain names TLD.

He invites Internet startups and established Internet business owners to visit http://www.KetMo.com and choose one or more domain names they wish to use to stake their claim on the net and take advantage of the pending media and advertising circus.
