MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA, Jun 01, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
VRSN | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- VeriSign, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRSN | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) announced today that it has extended
its partnership with Web.com, a leader in online marketing for small
and medium-sized businesses. In addition to building and marketing a
professionally designed Web site and providing a wide array of online
marketing services, Web.com customers can benefit from their
affiliation with the VeriSign Secured(R) Seal, the most recognized
trust mark on the Internet when it comes to online security.*

"When we discuss our customers' business goals for their sites, we
help them develop a detailed blueprint to succeed online," said Jeff
Stibel, president of Web.com. "The customers we work with place a high
premium on conducting business online in a safe and secure
environment. They understand the importance of instilling confidence
and trust in their customers to safely transact online. They also
understand the value of having the VeriSign seal on their Web sites
and appreciate the high return on investment they will realize by
upgrading to VeriSign SSL Certificates."

By displaying the VeriSign Secured(R) Seal, online retailers and
other businesses show visitors that their site is secured using
industry-leading SSL technology from a globally respected Certificate
Authority.

"We value our customers' security as much as we value utilizing
renewable energy strategies to produce our wines," said Chris Behr,
owner of Oso Libre (www.osolibre.com) Vineyards, an award-winning
vineyard in California's acclaimed Adelaida region. "We've seen a
significant improvement in online sales ever since Web.com helped us
secure our shopping cart with VeriSign. Visitors to our Web site know
their credit card information is safe, and thus they are more likely
to complete the transaction."

"When it comes to e-commerce, VeriSign SSL delivers confidence -- and
that's invaluable for online businesses," said Michael Lin, vice
president and general manager of SSL at VeriSign. "The VeriSign
Secured Seal takes the anonymity out of online transactions and
offers the kind of reassurance consumers are looking for on the
Internet. We're delighted to extend our SSL partnership with
Web.com."
