July 16, 2000WebSite.ws Registers 60,000 Domain Names in First Four Months

Register.com alliance helps fuel global desire for alternative to .com extension

WebSite.ws, formerly known as WorldSite.ws, today announced that 60,000 .ws domain names have been registered since its availability was first announced in March. WebSite.ws' fast growth is due in part to its strategic alliance with Register.com (Nasdaq: RCOM), a leader in the domain name registration arena.

"The desire for an easy-to-remember Internet address has created the need for an alternative to the saturated .com extension," said Alan Ezeir, president and co-founder of WebSite.ws. "WebSite.ws is the perfect solution for personal lives, personal business and major corporations which missed out on a .com address."

The alliance with Register.com has greatly contributed to the success of the .ws registrations. The .ws extension can be found in Register.com's "Featured Domain Name Extension" section, grouped with the .com, .net and .org offerings. Register.com has earned its market success by registering over one million domain names.

"Register.com is committed to providing the widest possible variety of domain name products, so we've been especially pleased to offer our customers the popular .ws domain name extension," says Richard Forman, president and CEO of Register.com. "The success of .ws underscores how many of our customers are looking for alternatives to .com, .net and .org and by teaming up with companies like WebSite.ws, we're finding more and more creative ways to combat the .com crunch."

WebSite.ws domains work the same as traditional .com's, they just end with a more global .ws instead. WebSite.ws makes registering easy and affordable with a short and simple registration process. At a cost of just for two years, WebSite.ws guides both the Internet novice and savvy user through an enjoyable registration process that ends with a desirable web address.
