SWsoft Announces New Plesk 6.5 Web-Hosting Automation Software for Windows Server 2003 Platform

Interland First to offer Proven Software for Self Administration of
Services on Microsoft Platform

Herndon, VA, November 20, 2003 - SWsoft, Inc., the leader in hosting
automation and enterprise server software, today announced the release of
Plesk 6.5 for Windows Server 2003, a new addition to the Plesk Server
Administration Web-hosting Software family and is immediately available
through Interland (NASDAQ: INLD).

Plesk 6.5 for Windows delivers the proven rock solid reputation demanded by
professional hosting service providers (HSP) worldwide wrapped in the
familiar interface already in use by tens of thousands of Linux server
administrators everyday. Tiered Windows self-administration simplified by a
nice looking, easy to use interface, brings a staple in Linux hosting
automation to Windows Server administration.

Developed for easy setup and quick deployment of Microsoft web-hosting
servers, Plesk 6.5 installs all applications necessary for managing the serv
ices offered by today’s professional HSP including support for Internet
Information Services (IIS), Microsoft.NET, a completely new interface for
administration, new sub-domain setup and management, and additional
Microsoft Server 2003 native programs for webserver administration.

"Our customers require solutions that simplify the management of Web hosting
functions like provisioning/managing web hosting accounts, integrated email
management, and integrated DNS management," said John Lally, director of
product management for Interland. "Our team has worked extensively with
SWsoft’s development team on Plesk 6.5 to ensure this release is the first
step toward creating a complete, integrated solution for both Windows and
Linux servers, from the leading provider of web hosting automation
solutions."

In addition to the feedback from beta users, Interland provided exceptional
support in the testing of Plesk 6.5 for Windows. As the first adopter,
Interland demonstrated the true meaning of partnership by committing
significant resources to the launch by participating in the joint testing,
integration, and development training of sales and support teams.

"With the acquisition of Plesk and Confixx in June of 2003, SWsoft became
the license leader in the control panel market," said Joshua Beil, Tier 1
Research. "The release of Plesk 6.5 is quite timely and addresses the needs
of its customers that are looking to leverage the enhanced scalability and
security features found in Windows Server 2003."

The introduction of Plesk 6.5 further enhances SWsoft’s position as the
leader in Web-hosting software development and the number one provider of
Web-hosting server administration software in the world. Plesk 6.5 addresses
an additional 40% market size and marks SWsoft’s inclusion into a $2 billion
yearly market.

"Since its inception .NET has gained traction in the hosting marketplace
increasing Windows popularity. Until now, there really has been no solid
tiered self administration software for the Windows Platform", said Tim O’
Rourke, VP of Business Development and Sales for SWsoft. "Our global
customer base typically offers both ‘Nix (Linux and FreeBSD) and Windows
servers but lacked the single interface to manage both. SWsoft’s Plesk
furnishes just such an offering - and we’re excited to be able to provide a
Windows product to match our popular Linux program."

Plesk 6.5 is available beginning on November 20, 2003 and customers will be
able to purchase the product license or lease the software license on a
monthly basis from SWsoft’s online store, direct sales group, channel
resellers and Independent Software Vendors. Interland, a Plesk Platinum
Channel Partner, is the first partner to offer Plesk 6.5. For more details,
