Register.com Teams With GeoTrust To Provide Security Solutions

Leading Domain Registrar and Second Largest Certificate Authority To Offer Authentication and Security For Site Registration To Over One Million Customers

June 10, 2002 - New York, NY and Wellesley, MA - Register.com (Nasdaq: RCOM), a leading provider of global domain name registration and Internet services and GeoTrust, Inc., a leader in identity and security solutions for e-business, today announced a strategic relationship designed to provide a full service offering for identity verification, secure transactions, and site registration. Under the terms of the agreement, Register.com will offer GeoTrust's QuickSSL™, True Site™ and True BusinessID™ solutions to customers across all its market segments, including the Company's Global Partner Network, Corporate Services and Retail channels.

"As a leading registrar, we are always looking for new products to best serve our customers' growing needs," said Richard Forman, president and CEO of Register.com. "Security is a great concern for many of our customers who conduct business over the Internet. We believe that by adding GeoTrust's QuickSSL and True Site products to our suite of service offerings we will be providing our customers with a more cost-effective and streamlined solution for authenticity, identity and secure online transactions.

The alliance will allow Register.com customers to conduct secure transactions by using GeoTrust's QuickSSL product, which offers commercial quality, 128-bit, SSL digital certificates in as little as 10 minutes. SSL is the technology that activates the lock symbol in a user's browser by encrypting communications between Web browsers and servers. Also available to Register.com customers will be GeoTrust's True Site identity solution, which ensures a site's legitimacy with a dynamically generated time/date stamp that cannot be copied. True BusinessID is a combination solution of traditional SSL certificates and the True Site product.

"Conducting secure transactions over the Internet requires that participants know who they are doing business with", stated Matthew Kovar, director, Security Solutions & Services research and consulting at the Yankee Group. "The combination of Register.com, providing the validated domain, and GeoTrust, providing the authenticated authorization for the secure communication, will enable organizations to conduct the secure transactions required from their e-commerce environments."

"Register.com is a key partner to GeoTrust," said Neal Creighton, president and CEO of GeoTrust. "With our combined offerings, businesses will now have an alternative solution that includes domain name management, transaction security, identity verification and authentication. This partnership provides the most innovative and cost-effective solution available in the market today."

GeoTrust has emerged as a leading innovator in the 3As - authentication, authorization and administration - sector of the Security Market. According to SecuritySpace.com (www.securityspace.com), GeoTrust garnered 11.15% market share in the digital certificate market in April 2002, seizing even more market share from existing industry leaders.

QuickSSL offers near-instantaneous delivery of commercial quality, 128-bit, SSL digital certificates for encrypting communications between Web browsers and servers - the technology that activates the lock symbol in user's browsers. It provides the strongest automated authentication process available for provisioning SSL certificates to prevent online fraud. QuickSSL provides SSL certificates in as little as 10 minutes of receipt of a valid request, allowing Web hosting companies, small and medium businesses, and enterprises to obtain SSL certificates quickly and easily.

True Site is an identity solution for business Web sites. It provides information to the consumer to ensure a site's legitimacy, making e-commerce more secure. With True Site, consumers can avoid being tricked by a spoofed or hijacked Internet site. Businesses are given an active digital icon for their Web sites. Consumers considering a transaction with an online business will know, from the digital icon, the Web site is legitimate and will have access to information about that enterprise. Unlike other identity icons, True Site has a dynamically generated time/date stamp, and is not able to be right-clicked and copied.

True BusinessID is a bundled package of 128-bit SSL encryption and True Site that delivers browser and server recognition as well as access protection and fraud prevention.
