Register.com Adds "Lock Down" Service

Register.com Provides Added Domain Name Security with New Lock Down Service

New York, NY -- April 26, 2000 - Register.com, Inc. (NASDQ: RCOM), one of
the leading domain name registrars on the Internet, today announced the
launch of Domain Lock Down, a new service to help protect domain names from
being hijacked.

Domain Lock Down locks names at the registry level, which helps prevent
unauthorized alterations to nameserver and registrar information and blocks
deletions of a domain name for the length of the registration term. As a
result, register.com customers who use the service will have greater
security over their domain names and can reduce the risk of illegal
tampering. The current cost for Domain Lock Down is $99 per name.

In light of the recent hijacking incidences, we are introducing Domain
Lock Down to offer our Corporate Services customers added peace of mind,
said Richard Forman, President and CEO of register.com. Because a domain
name is the key access point to the Internet, businesses cannot afford to
suffer the effects of illegal domain tampering. By locking down a domain,
register.com Corporate Services customers increase the security of their
business.

Register.com Domain Lock Down services are available to all Corporate
Services customers of register.com. Once a domain name is locked down,
nameserver and zone file information associated with a domain name can only
be altered directly through a register.com Corporate Services account
executive until the name comes up for renewal.

Some companies bring in millions of dollars of revenue every day through
their Web sites, so locking down a domain name for $99 is a smart move from
both a security and a business standpoint, said Mark Calandra, Director of
register.coms Corporate Services Division. This is just the latest
example of the creative customized business services available to
register.com corporate clients.

About register.com Corporate Services
Register.com established its Corporate Services Division to deal with the
specific domain needs of businesses that have or need multiple domain
names. As Corporate Services clients, companies can deal directly with
dedicated account managers who perform High Volume Registration Services,
International Brand Protection (IBP), Multiple Domain Transfers and other
domain-related special services. Clients include businesses of all sizes,
from Fortune 500 companies to start-ups. For more information or to speak
to an Account Manager, call 800-6-WWW-NET/(800) 699-9638 from 9 a.m. to 6
p.m. EST.
