LYNCHBURG, Va./EWORLDWIRE/Feb. 28, 2006 --- Sitestar Corporation (OTCBB: SYTE), a provider of residential and business Internet access and value-added computer services, today announced that it expects to report record earnings based upon its preliminary and unaudited financial results. The company forecasts an increase in annual gross revenue stimulated by the dynamic growth of its Internet division. Similarly, Sitestar anticipates a sharp increase in EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) for the fiscal year compared to same period a year ago.

Throughout 2005, Sitestar increased its customer base, exceeded revenue targets and posted record quarterly profits.
“2005 was a pivotal year for our company and shareholders,” said Frank R. Erhartic, Jr., CEO for Sitestar. “We executed our business plan designed to optimize operational efficiencies, expanded our subscriber base and continued our commitment to deliver premium Internet access service backed by top-notch customer support. We are thrilled to have completed the best year in Sitestar’s history and look forward to build and expand upon our successes through 2006.”
Sitestar’s fourth quarter and fiscal year 2005 results are preliminary, subject to the Company completing its customary quarterly and year-end closing and audit procedures. Sitestar plans to announce actual results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 on or before the end March 2006.
