GLOBIX UK SUPERPOP SIGNS CONTRACTS FOR OVER $1 MILLION IN FIRST 3 MONTHS

Leading UK Sites ebookers.com and Interactive Investor International Now Hosting With Globix

NEW YORK – October 19, 1999 – Globix Corporation (NASDAQ: GBIX), today announced that its London SuperPOP has signed new contracts with total value in excess of $1 million, since opening on July 15, 1999.

Among the new clients hosting in the Globix London Internet Data Center are ebookers.com plc [www.ebookers.com], a leading UK travel portal specializing in discounted travel, and Interactive Investor International (“iii”), [www.iii.co.uk], a leading UK-based Internet Financial Portal.

ebookers.com, the online extension of Flightbookers, the most prominent retail brand in UK travel, operates a 24 hour online travel store to help travelers with destinations and discounted offers.

iii is a comprehensive personal finance portal which provides individuals with the power to identify, compare, monitor and, where appropriate, buy and sell online, a wide variety of financial products and services at every stage of their financial lives. By giving investors greater control of their financial affairs, iii generated over 10 million page impressions in September 1999.

“The availability of our Web site to the individuals who rely on our services is of paramount importance to us,” said Tomás Carruthers, CEO of Interactive Investor International. “The hosting and connectivity provided by Globix will allow us to deliver the best possible service to our clients, 24 hours a day.”

Marc H. Bell, Chairman and CEO of Globix Corporation said, “As companies face the decision of whether or not to outsource their Web presence, Globix can provide companies with an economical and secure alternative to managing in-house. By utilizing the state-of-the-art London SuperPOP, customers can rest easy knowing that their Web servers are in the best environment and have the necessary bandwidth to meet the fast growing demand of this exciting industry. Companies like ebookers.com and iii can now focus on running their e-business, without having to worry about the complex technical aspects associated with it.”
