(webhosting.info)   IDNoptions, LLC, an International domain name acquisition company, today announced an investment and strategic partnership with Monster Venture Partners, LLC and Domain Strategies, Inc. to expand and develop an industry-leading portfolio of IDNs and to build businesses on those domains.

Steven Epstein, CEO of IDNoptions, states that “the Internet and mobile community are on the brink of an immense eruption in China.” With nearly 1.4 billion people in China, Epstein predicts over 40% of the Internet’s content will be conducted in Chinese by 2011. Epstein’s company enables organizations to establish and expand their brands in Asia. His concept was confirmed by some of the world’s most respected Internet executives and China experts. His portfolio contains the Chinese equivalents of domains such as “greenbusiness.com, airlinereservations.com, and realestateloans.com.” There are over 2300 premium domains in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, and Arabic in the IDNoptions portfolio.

Monster emphasizes that “IDNoptions is in the right place at the right time. The partnership with Domain Strategies will allow these raw domains to evolve quickly into high value properties that can be of immense utility to Chinese Internet users by leveraging Domain Strategies’ proven ability to secure top content as well as deliver this content in local languages.” Concurrent with the financial investment by MVP, Monster has agreed to assume the role of Chairman of IDNoptions.

Patrick Pun, Executive Vice President for Asia-Pacific of MVP, also serves the IDNoptions team as Executive Vice President for Asia-Pacific. Pun says, “The timing is perfect for IDNoptions to build the bridge to link multinational firms and their products and services with the powerful Chinese market. Category-defining domains present a great competitive advantage for those organizations by having rapid access to diverse Chinese markets, in not only Mainland China but Hong Kong, Taiwan, and throughout the world.” Pun is based in Shanghai and will be running the Shanghai operations of IDNoptions.
