"NameSecure.com has since 1995 registered through Network Solutions more domain names than any other non-webhosting company on the Internet besides Network Solutions themselves," explained NameSecure.com's Chief Executive Officer, Cyndi Girgis. "We're tremendously excited to be chosen as one of the first companies to bring competition to what has until now been a Network Solutions monopoly." "Many people already know about NameSecure.com through our partnerships and affiliations with many of the leading Internet community and e-commerce sites," Girgis continued. "We now have a great opportunity to raise our visibility among all Internet users and to finally offer our customers one company to deal with instead of two." NameSecure.com will enter into an accreditation agreement as soon as possible with ICANN and expects to begin acting as a .com, .net, and .org registrar immediately upon the conclusion of a 60-day "testbed phase" currently scheduled to end on July 9, 1999. About NameSecure.com NameSecure.com originated, and was the first domain name registration company to offer "website forwarding," a service that allows any company or individual to have and use their own domain name without the additional monthly expense of a separate "domain name account." NameSecure.com's unique business model (the company does not compete for webhosting business) has led the company to partnerships and associations with many leading Internet community and e-commerce sites including among others, GeoCities (NASDAQ:GCTY), iCat, the Lycos Network (includes Lycos, Tripod, Angelfire, WhoWhere, and MailCity) (NASDAQ:LCOS), Netopia (NASDAQ:NTPA), and XOOM.com (NASDAQ:XMCM).
