Web.com will continue to trade on the NASDAQ stock exchange, using the new ticker symbol “WWWW” starting Monday.

Interland acquired Web.com in November of 2005 for a price of $4.4 million. The acquisition included approximately 9,000 Web hosting customers and the Web.com domain name, which Interland considered a valuable commodity.

The company said the change in name would help to align it more closely with its core Web services business.

Atlanta-based Interland said in late November that it would acquire Web.com for $4.4 million in cash, restricted stock and assumed liabilities. The deal includes 9,000 hosting accounts, ownership of the Web.com domain and an accredited domain registrar.

The company says it will change its corporate name in the first half of 2006. Interland says the move is designed to align the company with its branded line of business for small and medium-sized businesses and consumers, which includes domain registration, hosting and Web marketing.

“Acquiring Web.com is an exciting step toward increasing our market penetration. Web.com is an under-utilized asset that we can unlock to reach its full potential,” says Jeff Stibel, president and CEO of Interland. “In addition to a tremendous branding opportunity, this acquisition adds revenues, significant direct navigation traffic, and an entrance into the consumer segment of the Web hosting market.”

The deal is expected to generate approximately $75,000 in monthly hosting revenues. Web.com CEO Will Pemble will join Interland as executive vice president, focusing on Web.com’s consumer and registrar business.
