San Diego, CA - December 16, 2002 - Aplus.Net announced today that it has launched a new control panel for managing domain names. The new Control Panel is completely web enabled and is available immediately to current customers and Resellers of Aplus.Net and Names4Ever here.

Says Ivan Vachovsky, the CEO of Aplus.Net " The new Control Panel is a step in our strategic direction of adding human friendly face to our technologies. We have developed great technologies for web hosting and domain registration. We want to make those understandable and accessible to everyone, not just the technology specialist. Last summer we have introduced consumer friendly Control Panel for our web hosting customers and now we follow up with similar panel for our domain name customers. We have more customer friendly products in the pipeline scheduled for delivery in Q1 of 2003. "

The new tool allows customers and Resellers to easily manage their domain names. It is especially useful for customers and Resellers with many domain names. Features include:

• review, sort, search all of the registered domains
• find easily domains which are about to expire and renew them
• extensive reports
• register new names including bulk registration
• add, delete, update DNS information
• add, delete, update contact information
• register new DNS servers
• manage transfer of domain names from other Registrars
• unlimited "who is" search
• setup global parameters for the Reseller
• payment and accounting information
• review invoices and statements
• API for linking to third party products and import/export of information
• PIRIN DN interface full documentation - build your own applications

Adds Ivan Vachovsky "Aplus.Net is one of the first ICANN accredited Registrars. We are registering domain names since 1999. The new tool incorporates all of the experience we have gained so far during the three years of operations. We believe it is one of the best in the industry."

Domain Names control panel and the associated interface for Domain Names registration called PIRIN DN will be published as Open Source project at SourceForge (www.sourceforge.net ) and the source code will be made available to developers worldwide to be built into third party applications, products and web sites.

The new Control Panel adds great value for Resellers. It keeps them organized and even more importantly it gives them the tools to attract new customers and retain the existing ones. Such tools include domain search and suggestion tool and most importantly brand able, private label version of the very same control panel to be used by the Reseller for use by their own customers. This is in addition to the very low domain name prices for Resellers, offered by Aplus.Net.
