Register.com Begins Accepting .info Sunrise Registrations

Prior to the official launch, Register.com helps intellectual property owners
secure .info domain names and protect their brands

New York, NY - July 12, 2001 - Register.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: RCOM), a leading
provider of domain name registration and Internet services, today announced
that the company has begun accepting applications for .info Sunrise
registrations from eligible trademark and service mark holders. Afilias
Ltd., the .info registry, has designated a Sunrise Period, which begins
July 25th, to allow owners of intellectual property to register qualified
names in advance of the general public. As a service to its customers,
Register.com is giving registrants extra time to prepare for the launch of
the .info Sunrise Period, thereby increasing their chances of getting in
the first batch of Sunrise registrations to be processed by the .info
registry and obtaining their desired names. The Sunrise registration names
will be processed by the .info registry in several sequential batches; the
first of which is scheduled to start on July 25th and close at midnight
(EDT) on July 31st. Subsequent batches will be processed every few days
until August 15th, at which point Sunrise registrations will be performed
in real-time through August 27th.

""""""""Because many businesses can have trademarks on the same name in different
industries, we are advising eligible trademark and service mark holders to
move quickly and get into the first batch,"""""""" said Richard Forman, President
and CEO of Register.com. """"""""By starting the application process two weeks
before the official launch, we are giving our customers additional lead
time to put the best strategy in place to protect their brands and secure
their desired domain names.""""""""

In the event that two registrants request the same domain name in the same
batch, the recipient of the name will be selected by the .info registry
through a randomized process. Registrations for the .info domain name will
be available for a five-year term for $35 per year. The .info Sunrise
Period will be open to all owners of any current trademark or service mark
that have any national effect and were registered prior to October 2, 2000.
.info will be the Internet's first unrestricted top-level domain since
.com, available for all uses, including business, personal and
not-for-profit Web sites.

The .info timeline is as follows:
