PRESS RELEASE

1&1 Launches Value-Added Domain Offering

Company Solidifies its Position as Premier Domain Provider by Offering More Features without Increasing Prices

PHILADELPHIA, August 29, 2005 – In another bold move since entering into the U.S. market less than 18 months ago, 1&1 Internet, Inc. has announced that it will significantly increase the amount and variety of standard features available with its domain registration packages without raising prices.

Users can now register a domain with 1&1 for as low as $5.99 per year and receive for free a number of features that routinely cost extra, such as private domain registration, a 1GB email account and a free starter page, among others. The value-added domain packages will be 1&1’s standard offering—not a limited time promotion—as the company aims to expand upon the 5 million-plus domains it has already registered.

“We want to change the domain registration market the way we changed the Web hosting market--with competitive pricing and inclusive packages,” said 1&1 Chairman of the Board Andreas Gauger. “We’re offering a lot of things that most other companies charge extra for, because we firmly believe in providing the most value for the money.”

To underscore this value, 1&1 will draw direct comparisons to its biggest competitors—Go Daddy and Yahoo!—in advertising and marketing campaigns supporting the new features and unchanged pricing. Print advertisements include a chart offering a side-by-side summary of the prices and features associated with three companies’ .com, .net. and .org domain packages clearly indicating that 1&1 offers the most features for the lowest price.

1&1 domain registrations include certain safety and technical services such as a waived ICANN fee, free DNS management, domain forwarding, domain locking and 200 email aliases -- along with 24/7 toll-free technical support. The packages also incorporate advanced marketing features like Hello Engines!, which enables a Web site to be listed with search engines such as Google, and Ranking Toolbox, to increase the rank of a Web page within search engines.

Gauger pointed out that customers can receive all of 1&1’s various domain features for free by signing up for the company’s shared hosting packages, all of which include up to five complimentary domain registrations.
