About the register.com Email Services by USA.NET

While registering a domain name with register.com, customers can now also purchase Web-based email accounts that reflect the customers' chosen domain. For example, when a customer selects a domain name, such as yourbusiness.com, the customer can also establish a permanent email address with the same domain name, e.g. you@yourbusiness.com. Using their branded domain name, businesses can issue multiple email addresses to employees without the hassle and expense of installing, maintaining and supporting an inhouse email system. Register.com customers can use any number of USA.NET's email service options, including POP3 (e.g. Microsoft Outlook or Netscape Messenger) or the Web interface. Since USA.NET's solution is Web-based, customers can easily access their accounts from anywhere in the world.

Register.com currently offers customers the ability to register domain names with a wide array of top-level domain (TLD) extensions, including the .md, .co., uk and .cc extensions. Register.com works with Network Solutions (Nasdaq: NSOL) to deliver .com, .net and .org TLDs. The Company's partners include: GeoCities (Nasdaq: GCTY), which was recently acquired by Yahoo (Nasdaq: YHOO), theglobe.com (Nasdaq: TGLO), the Infoseek Corporation (Nasdaq: SEEK), Thomson and Thomson, Spree.com, Web Promote and CyberSource.
