                              Fills Branding Holes with a More Relevant New Name
                              - Identity Digital |

                              Inc.,
                              the administrator of the world's largest portfolio
                              of top level domain names with more than 300 TLDs,
                              has given itself a new name - Identity Digital
                              (and a new web address at Identity.digital).
                              The new brand has been applied to both Donuts and Afilias,
                              the well-known TLD operator and service provider
                              that Donuts acquired in 2020.  When
                              Donuts was founded in 2010 to operate its own new
                              TLDs, the name was a clever way to stand out in
                              the huge crowd that gathered around the
                              opportunity to run one or more of what wound up
                              being over 1,000 new domain extensions. Now
                              that more than a decade has passed and new TLDs
                              have become more familiar to web users, the time

                            that would clearly articulate what the company
                            does. In their words, that is "helping
                            customers find, grow and protect their authentic

                                    rebrand coincides with helping customers
                                    understand that they no longer have to
                                    compromise when they get their domain name.
                                    As the heart of their digital identity, they
                                    can use both sides of the dot to express
                                    what their company is and why it matters.
                                    United under one brand, Identity Digital
                                    cements its status as a leader in connecting
                                    the online world with domain names and
                                    related technologies that allow people to
                                    build, market, and own their authentic
                                    digital identities." Identity
                                    Digital CEO Akram J. Atallah said,
                                    "This brand refresh is an exciting
                                    moment for our company and stakeholders.
                                    Identity Digital reflects a stronger
                                    platform for expressing the core values we
                                    have had all along – to provide a secure,
                                    authentic digital identity. The new name
                                    lets us more precisely define to customers
                                    who we are and what we can do for them. The
                                    internet is expanding, and businesses must
                                    have a digital presence to survive and be
                                    successful, so the timing was critical.”  |
