SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Overstock.com, Inc. (Nasdaq:
OSTK) today announced launch of its new O.BIZ website where businesses and
customers can buy bulk and business oriented merchandise. 

O.BIZ is designed to give small businesses and customers the opportunity to
buy large quantities at deep discounts. O.BIZ will initially focus on
restaurant, office, and hotel products. The new site has the look and feel of
Overstock.com and is supported by the award-winning Overstock.com customer
support team. O.BIZ customers will be able to shop with confidence using the
same technology featured on Overstock.com.

 "We've launched O.BIZ to help small to medium-size businesses save money by
leveraging Overstock.com's purchasing power," said Overstock.com Chairman and
CEO Patrick Byrne.

Single-character domain names are very rare; there are only five such domain
names worldwide. Domain names using .BIZ are especially appealing to companies
that sell products or services to other businesses. Overstock.com worked with
Neustar, the domain name registry for .BIZ gTLDs, to launch the new site. To

"The simplicity of this domain name will help drive consumers to this new
e-commerce destination for small to medium-sized businesses," said Tim
Switzer, Neustar's vice president of Registry Services. "O.BIZ will increase
the visibility of this new initiative for Overstock.com."
