As an extension of the relationship between Network Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: NSOL) and leading application service provider (ASP) Interliant, Inc. (NASDAQ: INIT), the two companies today announced plans to offer Interliant customers the opportunity to subscribe to Internet Keywords, Real Names Corporation's Internet addressing and navigation service. Internet Keywords, a tool to help Internet users locate Web pages quickly and easily, will help Interliant Web hosting customers to expand their online presence.

"As a premier application and Web hosting provider, we are focused on giving our customers access to cutting-edge Web technologies like Internet Keywords," said Mark Browning, vice president of marketing, Web Hosting Services for Interliant. "By simplifying Internet navigation, the Internet Keywords service is a complement to the Web address registration services we already offer our customers through Network Solutions. It's another way for Interliant to help our customers promote and brand their e-businesses and a natural extension of our existing Web hosting offerings."

Internet Keywords are simple and intuitive words or phrases that allow users to get where they want to go on the Internet using familiar identities. Internet Keywords are a natural add-on to domain names and hosted Web sites.

"As the world leader in Web address registrations, Network Solutions' goal is to help businesses and consumers establish an identity on the Web," said Jim Rutt, chief executive officer for Network Solutions, Inc. "One way we are doing this is by expanding Internet Keywords to our channel partners like Interliant."

"We are pleased to work with Network Solutions and its channel partners to make Internet Keywords more readily available to the millions of Web address owners and end users requiring fast and direct Web navigation," said Keith Teare, president and CEO of RealNames Corporation.
