                    DIGEX REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 1999 RESULTS

             3Q99 Revenues Increase 158% from Same Period Last Year
                New Smart Centers Opened on East and West Coasts


BELTSVILLE, MD - November 1, 1999 - Digex, Incorporated (NASDAQ: DIGX) today
reported third quarter revenues of $16.1 million, an increase of 158 percent
over the $6.2 million reported for the third quarter of 1998 and an increase of
28 percent over the $12.6 million reported for the second quarter of 1999.
Servers managed in Digex's data centers more than doubled to 1,993 in the third
quarter 1999 versus 924 servers in the same period last year.

"Customers' rapid adoption of the Internet for e-business and applications
delivery continues to drive the market towards managed hosting services," said
Mark Shull, president and chief executive officer of Digex.  "Our revenue growth
remains strong as we see large Enterprise and Internet businesses like Ford
Motor Corporation, Colgate-Palmolive and eCredit expand their Web presence and
outsource their sites to Digex.  The need for sophisticated platforms and
support services continues to increase as we see the emerging Applications
Service Provider market develop."

"To meet this increasing market demand for managed hosting services, Digex
opened two new Smart Centers located on the east and west coasts that can
support over $500 million in annualized revenue," said Shull.  "Digex has always
focused on offering managed hosting services.  We provide pre-engineered server
platforms, comprehensive operations support, sophisticated 24x7 monitoring, high
availability and performance solutions, backups, security services, capacity
planning, stress testing and advanced networked and caching - all designed to
enable the growth of e-business."

"The average annualized revenue per customer grew from $90,372 in the second
quarter of 1999 to $111,588 in the third quarter representing a 23 percent
increase in per customer revenue sequentially and a 130 percent increase year
over year. This was driven by strong growth among our existing customer base and
the addition of managed solutions for new clients," stated Bradley Sparks, chief
financial officer for Digex.

Digex installed 468 servers and monthly revenue per average server increased to
$3,053 during the quarter.  EBITDA loss increased from ($12.2) million in the
second quarter to ($13.5) million as Digex continued to add staffing and
increased marketing expenditures.

Key highlights for Digex include:

 .  Substantial growth in the core enterprise managed hosting business, adding
   key customers, including Colgate-Palmolive, eCredit, Gifts.com, and
   Slimfast with significant growth for existing clients: Ford Motor
   Corporation, Forbes, and Travel Services International.

 .  Opened two major Smart Centers built to Department of Defense standards in
   Beltsville, MD and San Jose, CA.

 .  Launched leading Dynamic Fail-Over solution to maximize site availability
   and up-time for e-business customers and to offer increased server
   performance guarantees.

 .  Expanded our leadership in the emerging Application Service Provider market
   by adding Great Plains' accounting and finance applications to our suite of
   hosted business management solutions.

 .  On August 4th, 1999 Digex completed its initial public offering of common
   stock, raising approximately $180 million of net proceeds.

EBITDA consists of earnings (net loss) before interest expense, interest and
other income, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. EBITDA does not
represent funds available for management's discretionary use and is not intended
to represent cash flow from operations.  EBITDA should also not be construed as
a substitute for operating income or a better measure of liquidity than cash
flow from operating activities, which are determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.  This caption excludes components that
are significant in understanding and assessing the results of operations and
cash flows.  In addition, EBITDA is not a term defined by generally accepted
accounting principles and as a result EBITDA  may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures used by other companies. However, the Company believes that
EBITDA is relevant and useful information that is often reported and widely used
by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the Web hosting industry.
Accordingly, the Company is disclosing this information to permit a more
comprehensive analysis of the Company's operating performance, as an additional
meaningful measure of performance and liquidity, and to provide additional
information with respect to the Company's ability to meet future debt service,
capital expenditures and working capital requirements.

the caption "Risk Factors" in the Company's Prospectus dated July 29, 1999, and

(1)  Basic and diluted loss per share have been calculated assuming that the

     April 1999 were outstanding for all periods presented.

(2)  EBITDA consists of earnings (net loss) before interest expense, interest
     and other income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA does
     not represent funds available for management's discretionary use and is not
     intended to represent cash flows from operations. EBITDA should not be
     considered as an alternative to net loss as an indicator of the Company's
     operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. In
     addition,  EBITDA is not a term defined by generally accepted accounting
     principles, and, as a result, the measure of EBITDA presented herein
     may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
