Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 7, 2000

New Free URL forwarding service allows customers to

register a customized name and have it point it

to any Internet site at no extra cost

Register.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: RCOM) today announced the launch of its new free URL forwarding service, allowing register.com customers to point their domain names to existing sites on the Internet for free. Through URL forwarding, customers can drive traffic to Web sites by registering personalized names, such as www.mybrand.com, and have that name bring Web users to any site on the Internet, such as www.bargainisp.com/mybrand. As part of the free service, a register.com navigation bar is inserted in a frame at the bottom of the forwarded site page.

Customers can use register.com's free URL Forwarding services in the following ways:

-- To forward their domain name to an existing Web site hosted by

an Internet Service Provider (ISP);

-- To forward their domain name to any free Web space on a

community site;

-- To have multiple domain names pointed to a single site,

maximizing the flow of traffic to their business or personal

Web page;

-- To create a personalized portal by generating multiple

sub-domains and having each forwarded to existing web pages.

-- For example, a customer registering

www.freeurlforwarding.com can have that domain name point

to one existing Web site, while creating various

second-level domains - such as help.freeurlforwarding.com

and news.freeurlforwarding.com, which can point to

completely different sites on the Internet. All

second-level domains can be reached through the navigation

bar at the bottom of the screen.

Free URL forwarding is just one of three URL forwarding options register.com provides. For $49 per year, customers can purchase either Platinum URL Forwarding, which eliminates the register.com branded navigation bar at the bottom of the computer screen, or Platinum URL Forwarding with Domain Name-Stay, which both eliminates the navigation bar and displays the forwarded domain name in the navigation bar of the browser.

"With the launch of register.com's new free URL forwarding service, there's no reason for anyone with a Web site not to have a personalized or branded domain name," said Richard Forman, President and CEO of register.com. "A good domain name makes it much easier for people to find a Web site, whether they are customers, fellow-hobbyists or family and friends. By using register.com domain registration services and now free URL forwarding, our customers not only have the power of a good domain name, but they can make it work for them simply, quickly and affordably."

Customers using register.com's free URL forwarding can make unlimited, real-time modifications to their URL forwarding accounts, allowing them to point their domain name to different Web sites instantaneously and at will.

"Free URL forwarding is just the latest example of the innovative products and services register.com is building into domain registration," said Matt Danilchick, Director of Project Management at register.com. "Increasingly, customers are realizing that the value of their name hinges on their ability to make it do what they need it to do. Our goal is to provide the services that not only help our customers secure the right name, but give them the capability to get the maximum value out of it on an ongoing basis."
