<p>New Free URL forwarding service allows customers to register a customized<br />
name and have it point it to any Internet site at no extra cost</p>
<p>New York, NY - June 7, 2000 - Register.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: RCOM) today<br />
announced the launch of its new free URL forwarding service, allowing<br />
register.com customers to point their domain names to existing sites on the<br />
Internet for free. Through URL forwarding, customers can drive traffic to<br />
Web sites by registering personalized names, such as <a href="http://www.mybrand.com" title="www.mybrand.com">www.mybrand.com</a>, and<br />
have that name bring Web users to any site on the Internet, such as<br />
<a href="http://www.bargainisp.com/mybrand" title="www.bargainisp.com/mybrand">www.bargainisp.com/mybrand</a>. As part of the free service, a register.com<br />
navigation bar is inserted in a frame at the bottom of the forwarded site<br />
page.</p>
<p>Customers can use register.com's free URL Forwarding services in the<br />
following ways:<br />
To forward their domain name to an existing Web site hosted by an Internet<br />
Service Provider (ISP);<br />
To forward their domain name to any free Web space on a community site; To<br />
have multiple domain names pointed to a single site, maximizing the flow of<br />
traffic to their business or personal Web page; To create a personalized<br />
portal by generating multiple sub-domains and having each forwarded to<br />
existing web pages. For example, a customer registering<br />
<a href="http://www.urlforwarding.com" title="www.urlforwarding.com">www.urlforwarding.com</a> can have that domain name point to one existing Web<br />
site, while creating various second-level domains - such as<br />
help.urlforwarding.com and news.urlforwarding.com, which can point to<br />
completely different sites on the Internet. All second-level domains can be<br />
reached through the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen.</p>
<p>Free URL forwarding is just one of three URL forwarding options<br />
register.com provides. For $49 per year, customers can purchase either<br />
Platinum URL Forwarding, which eliminates the register.com branded<br />
navigation bar at the bottom of the computer screen, or Platinum URL<br />
Forwarding with Domain Name-Stay, which both eliminates the navigation bar<br />
and displays the forwarded domain name in the navigation bar of the browser.</p>
<p>"With the launch of register.com's new free URL forwarding service, there's<br />
no reason for anyone with a Web site not to have a personalized or branded<br />
domain name," said Richard Forman, President and CEO of register.com. "A<br />
good domain name makes it much easier for people to find a Web site,<br />
whether they are customers, fellow-hobbyists or family and friends. By<br />
using register.com domain registration services and now free URL<br />
forwarding, our customers not only have the power of a good domain name,<br />
but they can make it work for them simply, quickly and affordably."</p>
<p>Customers using register.com's free URL forwarding can make unlimited,<br />
real-time modifications to their URL forwarding accounts, allowing them to<br />
point their domain name to different Web sites instantaneously and at will.</p>
<p>"Free URL forwarding is just the latest example of the innovative products<br />
and services register.com is building into domain registration," said Matt<br />
Danilchick, Director of Project Management at register.com. "Increasingly,<br />
customers are realizing that the value of their name hinges on their<br />
ability to make it do what they need it to do. Our goal is to provide the<br />
services that not only help our customers secure the right name, but give<br />
them the capability to get the maximum value out of it on an ongoing basis."</p>
