efficient and automated customer provisioning and service

Jersey City, NJ (Nov 21st 2006) - Comodo, through their Web Hosting and server
automation division PSOFT, today announced that Brasil Telecom has selected Comodo\'s
H-Sphere solution to provide web hosting automation for its new line of internet
services dedicated to small and medium size businesses (SMB), called iG Empresas.
The multi-year deal is seen as a critical enabling technology for iG to be able to
generate and fully leverage revenue from their large and growing base of 40,000 web
host customers.

Brasil Telecom Group is a leading telecommunications and web hosting operator in
Brazil. Brasil Telecom Group offers a full range of services: local fixed-line
telecommunications, domestic and international long distance fixed-line
telecommunications, mobile telecommunications, data transmission, data center and
Internet services, which provide a full range of converging services with a unified
vision and mutual synergy. iG is the largest internet access provider (ISP) of Latin
America, reaching 28% of the Brazilian residences that has computers and was the
first free Internet access provider in Brasil. Today, beyond free access and
broadband access, value-added services offered include e-mail, hosting, multimedia
content, Wi-fi, among others. Approximately 1 million subscribers pay for services,
including broadband access and value-added services.

Internet Group Ltda (iG) chose H-Sphere over rival solutions primarily because of
the unparalleled ease with which it can be integrated into iG\'s existing, well
established infrastructure. H-Sphere\'s built in billing system and multi-currency
support allowed iG to provision its very large local customer base without recourse
to a third party solution outside of the control panel. H-Sphere\'s multi-language
support and almost infinite scalability also were key criterion in H-Sphere\'s
selection by iG.

H-Sphere is a leading web hosting control panel widely recognized as uniquely suited
to meet the demands of large scale hosting operations. It offers a complete client
control panel, an admin interface, private label reselling, built-in SSL certificate
management tools, virtual private servers, dedicated server hosting, MS Exchange
hosting, integrated billing, trouble ticket system and powerful clustering
capabilities - even allowing the management of multiple Linux, FreeBSD & Win200x
servers in one centralized cluster. For a full list of feature, please visit us at:

\"H-Sphere has proven itself to be one of the world\'s most scalable, cost effective
and versatile web host control panel and we are delighted to be able to offer this
functionality to iG,\" said Melih Abdulhayoglu, President and CEO of Comodo. \"This
partnership represents a perfect synergy between two forward-looking and innovative
companies. iG can now offer their customers a single, centralized control system for
the management and development of websites while benefiting from H-Spheres unique
billing solution and multi currency and language support.\"
