Montabaur (euro adhoc) - Montabaur/Madrid, January 24, 2008. With
over 50,000 customer contracts and 30,000 registered Internet
addresses, the United Internet brand 1&1 has successfully completed
its market entry in Spain. In less than half a year 1&1 has thus
succeeded in becoming one of Spain's Top 7 providers of webhosting
services.

From August 2007 to the end of the year, 1&1's Spanish customers were
offered a "Pack Bienvenida" - a webhosting package worth some 200
euros with numerous features and an .es-domain, which users can test
for free and without risk over a two-year period. Since its launch,
the United Internet subsidiary has overtaken numerous competitors who
have long been established on the Spanish market. In December 2007
alone, 1&1 registered every third new .es-domain in Spain. According
to figures published yesterday by the Spanish registration authority
red.es, 1&1 is already the 7th largest registrar in Spain based on
the total number of domains registered during the whole of 2007. Four
years ago 1&1 was successful with a similar introductory offer in the
USA, where the provider is now among the Top 5.

"Before the launch we analyzed the Spanish market very carefully and
decided it was currently the most attractive foreign market for us,"
says Ralph Dommermuth, CEO of United Internet AG. "Around 95 percent
of all companies with more than 10 employees have broadband internet
access, for example, but only a fifth of all Spanish companies have
their own homepage". United Internet invests some 5 million euros in
its market entry on the Iberian peninsular for the establishment of
an office in Madrid, a Spanish-language support service and for
marketing measures.

Starting in January, Spanish internet users can choose from the full
1&1 webhosting range comprising 16 products, including domain and
hosting packages as well as dedicated servers. Further products, such
as the software-as-a- service solutions Microsoft Exchange and
MailXchange, are to be added in the course of the year.

"After this success, our next target is to break into the Top 3 of
Spanish webhosters within the next two years," explains Ralph
Dommermuth.

About United Internet With around 7.07 million customer contracts,
