NETWORK SOLUTIONS MAKES STRATEGIC INVESTMENT IN MYCOMPUTER.COM

Companies to co-develop the dot com dashboard, an integrated solution for managing a domain name user's total Internet presence

Herndon, Va, February 29, 2000 - Network Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: NSOL), the world's leading registrar of Internet domain names, announced today a significant investment in MyComputer.com, the leading ASP (Application Service Provider) dedicated to the development and management of Webmaster tools.

Along with the strategic investment, the two companies will develop the dot com dashboard(TM), a co-branded, integrated solution to enable Network Solutions' customers to manage their Internet domain names. Additionally, both companies will market and promote each other's services to existing and potential customers. MyComputer.com currently serves more than 650,000 customers, from first-time Web site builders, to businesses seeking a professional suite of tools to manage their sites.

"Our agreements with MyComputer.com dramatically step up our Internet identity services for customers and partners alike," said Jim Rutt, chief executive officer of Network Solutions (NSI). "This is another part of NSI's strategy to help our customers make their Web presences more successful. Through this collaboration, we can provide robust tools throughout the lifecycle of a domain name customer."

Along with the strategic investment, Network Solutions and MyComputer.com are jointly beginning development of the dot com dashboard, a remotely-hosted, co-branded "command console" that will enable Network Solutions' customers to register, manage, market and monitor their domain names from a single point on the Web. The dot com dashboard will offer leading applications from MyComputer.com, including SuperStats.com for traffic and visitor analysis, WatchDog.com for 24-hour site performance monitoring, BoardServer.com for customized online message boards, SiteMiner.com search capabilities, ad serving technology and other tools for real-time site analysis, promotion and monitoring.

"Network Solutions' strategic investment is a true validation of MyComputer.com's site development tools and business strategy," commented Josh James, chief executive officer at MyComputer.com. "Co-branding our services with Network Solutions will provide millions of Web site owners with powerful tools and services to manage and enhance their Web sites. As MyComputer.com continues to develop new products and services for site administrators and businesses, we anticipate that this agreement will be the first of many similar relationships with other leading community sites and portals on the Web."

Beginning next month, MyComputer.com will offer Network Solutions' domain name registration and value added services in .com, .net and .org, including the dot com biz card(TM) one-page Web site service, NSI's ImageCafe(TM) Web site design tools, the dot com essentials(TM) Internet starter kit, NSI's idNames(TM) country-code registration services, the dot com directory(TM) find engine, and the dot com mail(TM) Web-based e-mail service, via the MyComputer.com site to existing and new customers.
