Changes

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 is currently targeted towards [[ccTLD]]s, but Architelos also plans 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>

In October, 2012, the largest new gTLD applicant, [[Donuts]], announced that they would use Architelos' NameSentry [[SaaS|software-as-a-service]] to detect and mitigate domain name abuse. The patent-pending NameSentry application protects new gTLDs from phishing, malware, spam, botnets and other types of abuse. It is the first independent, third-party resource of its kind for the domain name industry.<ref>[http://www.domainnamenews.com/up-to-the-minute/donuts-to-use-architelos-namesentry/12158 Donuts To Use Architelos NameSentry, DomainNameNews.com]</ref>
