Name.SR Selects Excedent as Personalized Email Hosting Provider

Blacksburg, VA (October 30th, 2002) - Excedent Technologies, a global leader in Web-based and wireless email hosting solutions, today announced that Name.SR has selected Excedent as the email-hosting provider for its Web-based, personalized email service. Under the terms of this agreement, Excedent will supply Name.SR customers with a personalized email account containing their first and last name. Each account will be in the form of first@lastname.sr. Customers will have the option of paying $29.99 per account, per year, or receiving email-marketing messages from corporate sponsors who will front the cost. Each account will be protected from harmful viruses, outside intruders and unsolicited emails from third party Spammers.

"We have been working on this concept for over a year and a half," explained Tom Lauzon, President of Name.SR. "But we were unable to accomplish what we wanted with the technology for most of that period. We finally realized that we needed to find a stable partner with the right technology in place, yet a company that is willing to work with our unique business model. Excedent has a powerful messaging platform and they enable us to offer a true value proposition to our customers and sponsors. In the last few months, they have literally worked with us in every aspect of our business model, from conception to reality."
