CHICAGO, December 1, 2004

ADNS (www.adns.net)  announced today that it has cut the price for one year of domain registration to $5.95 and has adjusted muti-year registrations and renewals to $9.95 for two years and $23.95 for 5 years for Inclusive Namespace domains registered on its website.

John Palmer,  President and CEO of ADNS said: "ADNS recognizes that many people are reluctant to register domains in the Inclusive Namespace. We hope that by lowering the price of domain name registration for domains in Inclusive Namespace TLDs, we will encorage website owners and others to explore the greatly expanded universe of domain names available in the Inclusive Namespace".

Mr. Palmer also announced that the usage of its Inclusive Namespace servers have increased dramatically over the summer and autumn, reaching almost 30 million hits per month.  "Building visibility is a slow process - we have been at it for a number of years and our patience is paying off. People are coming to the realization that they no longer need to be under the thumb of the excessive rules imposed by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)",  Palmer said. 

The new pricing takes effect December 1, 2004 and affects domains with extensions .AMERICA, .EARTH, .ETC, .NOT, .COM2, .USA, .Z and .ONLINE registered through ADNS's website (www.adns.net)
