Press Release Body = San Diego, CA and New York, NY - October 4th, 2005 -- Leading Internet presence solution provider, Aplus.Net and global leader in Internet assurance, authentication and security services, Comodo Inc. today announced their partnership in offering professional-grade Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates. The partnership will enable present and future Aplus.Net clients to benefit from the security and assurance generated by Comodo High Assurance digital certificates.

According to the agreement, Comodo will supply Aplus.Net with the immediate ability to sell Aplus.Net-branded SSL Certificates with Comodo operating the back end issuance and validation infrastructure.

on the benefits of Comodo's high speed, high assurance and cost effective SSL certificates to their own sizeable customer base whilst at the same time leveraging the strength of their own brand. There is a clear synergy between Comodo and Aplus.Net's core values, which is to provide both a high quality product and unrivalled value for money to today's online consumers."

"Aplus.Net is committed to providing our customers with the ability to grow their business, and we believe that our partnership with Comodo will be instrumental in helping us achieve this goal," commented Ivan Vachovsky, CEO of Aplus.Net.
