Internet Access: Free Domain Name System to Rival InterNIC - Company Business and Marketing

Edge: Work-Group Computing Report, April 19, 1999

In a move slated to shake up the domain name business, iHoldings.com, Inc. announced Wednesday that Arrive.com, a 100% free-for-life domain names and vanity e-mail system is now available to users worldwide at www.arrive.com. Arrive.com brings a fresh new approach to personal and business website owners by offering a 100% free, add-based permanent web addresses and matching vanity e-mail addresses regardless of where their websites are located now or in the future.

According to Arrive's founder John Chotsurian, "With 99% name availability, 5-minute guaranteed sign-up, and no cost for life, Arrive's approach contrasts sharply with the high cost, delays, red tape and frustration associated with trying to secure a '.com' domain." Arrive simplifies complex website addresses - found at free homepage providers, universities and hosting companies - by using the new, easy to remember Arrive Web Address to take users to their current home page without delays, add-on software or changes to the site. Instead of using long and difficult to remember URL's such as: http://www.serviceprovider.com/dir/users/you.html, users can now choose from virtually any word they want, to create fun, meaningful and memorable web addresses usable worldwide such as: http://2fw.com/YourCompany (matching e-mail: yourcompany@2fwd.com) http://arrive.at/YourPage http://sitio.de/Jose http://rockin.to/TheStones http://mouse.to/YourStore http://willkommen.to/Berlin With over 50 selections available in all categories, themes and foreign languages imaginable, combined with the user chosen word, Arrive Web Addresses allow extra listings at search engines, vastly increasing traffic to any site. Arrive rewards loyalty with cash prizes, inviting anyone to participate in both the Arrive Web Address and the Arrive Referrals Awards, and be eligible to win up to $2000 (details available at www.arrive.com). With over 10 years experience in the computer industry, and estimated 1999 revenues of over $4 million, iHoldings.com is dedicated to providing Total Internet Naming Solutions. Backed by international investment funds, iHoldings.com has an aggressive growth plan for Arrive.com and a growing family of websites.
