The philosophy behind Architelos is that the Internet will soon be changing, with the introduction of the new gTLD program. It predicts that the deregulation of the domain name market will require current businesses to re-assess and likely re-position their focus as the differentiation between registries and registrars diminishes and the DNS expands with the addition of many new TLDs.<ref>[http://architelos.com/2011/03/09/architelos-launch-press-release/ Launch Press Release]</ref> [[Alexa Raad]], the Founder and CEO, has experience launching new gTLDs, [[.mobi]], and leading an established registry, [[PIR]] of [[.org]].<ref>[http://domainincite.com/architelos-makes-1-million-in-first-year/ Architelos Makes 1 million in First Year, DomainIncite.com]</ref>

In February, 2012, Architelos announced that it had earned more than $1 million in consulting and software services fees in its first year of operation. The software fees are associated with its Top-Level Domain Management Service (TMS®) and Business Case Builder programs, which help companies prepare and work with their new gTLD applications. Customers of its consulting services include [[Verisign]], [[Nominet]], [[AFNIC]], the [[.music]] applicant [[Far Further]], and the [[CIRA|Canadian Internet Registry Authority]].<ref>[http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20120223005439/en/Architelos-Marks-Anniversary-Top-Level-Domains-Set-Re-Shape Architelos Marks Anniversary Top Level Domains Set Re-Shape, BusinessWire.com]</ref> It doubled these figures in 2012, as it announced in January, 2013.

In April, 2012, Architelos launched its new marketing program, Velocity, to help registries drive registrations directly with a registry related registrar. This is intended to bypass or supplement the usual registrar-based marketing channel.<ref>[http://domainnamewire.com/2012/04/25/new-tld-channels/ New TLD Channels, DomainNameWire.com]</ref>
In August 2012, the company launched a new [[SaaS]] product for registries called NameSentry. It allows the registry to see how many names under their TLD are flagged as abusive, whether spamming, phishing, hosting malware, etc. It also comes with a built-in [[Whois]] service, which allows the registry to see which registrar is responsible for the the abusive registrations. The product was initially targeted towards [[ccTLD]]s, but Architelos also planned to sell the product to new [[gTLD]]s as they are launched.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/10162-architelos-launches-new-gtld-anti-abuse-tool Architelos launches new gTLD anti-abuse tool, domainincite.com]</ref> It is now available for both.
