                      DIGEX ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

 RECORD QUARTERLY REVENUE OF $28 MILLION UP 198% AND EUROPEAN EXPANSION SIGNAL
                MAJOR GROWTH FOR LEADING MANAGED HOSTING PROVIDER

BELTSVILLE, MD - MAY 2, 2000 - Digex, Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIGX), a leading
managed Web and application hosting service provider for businesses worldwide,
today announced revenue of $28.0 million for the quarter-ended March 31, 2000, a
198% increase over the year-ago level. Managed servers totaled 2,911, a record
increase of 600 units over the previous quarter, with average monthly revenue
per server reaching a new high of over $3,550. EBITDA* losses were ($15.1)
million in the first quarter with a net loss per share of ($0.41), as the
company continued its planned investments in infrastructure expansion.

Digex has established its European subsidiary and opened the first new
SmartCenter outside the U.S. as part of a global expansion strategy. Other
important initiatives during the quarter include a joint development effort and
investment by Compaq and Microsoft and several new program and product releases
in conjunction with Sun Microsystems and Oracle to broaden product offerings and
accelerate into new markets.

"The first quarter was a strong start to the New Year for Digex, demonstrating
the growing demand for our managed services and our ability to scale the
business effectively," said Mark Shull, president and chief executive officer.
"Our core competencies in developing pre-engineered, Internet-ready hardware and
software platforms, along with our continuing ability to leverage technology to
further automate our processes, are allowing us to deploy servers rapidly and
bring customer sites online in compressed timeframes."

The opening of the first European Digex SmartCenter (outside London) and the
establishment of Digex Europe mark the first phase of Digex's planned
international expansion. "We believe our managed hosting model will be
particularly attractive in international markets, and Digex is well positioned
by virtue of its depth of experience to become a leader in a market projected to
be at $6.7 billion within three years," Shull noted.

The company's strong results were driven by the following additional key
metrics:

- -        Annualized revenue per customer grew to over $185,000, up 166% over
         1Q99
- -        Average number of servers per customer rose to 4.6, up 94% over the
         year-ago level
- -        Total customers as of March 31, 2000 were 637, a 12% sequential
         increase

Capital investments for the quarter totaled $33.8 million. Cash and equivalents
were $283.3 million as of March 31, 2000. "We have funded our business plan into
2001 and are in a strong position to continue our investments in the growth of
this business," said Tim Adams, chief financial officer.

"Our strategic partnerships with industry-leading hardware and software players
have allowed us to expand the range of services we provide," said Rebecca Ward,
president product management, engineering and marketing. "In our work with Sun
Microsystems, for example, we were the first provider to achieve SunTone
certification; we announced support for the Sun Solaris 8 platform; and we
joined with Sun in its Start-up Accelerator program, expanding our addressable
customer base significantly."

"We strengthened our position as a preferred provider of managed hosting
services for leading financial institutions with the addition of JP Morgan,
Advanta, and Fleet Credit Card as customers, and we added several major business
to business customers, including Medline," stated Nancy Faigen, president, sales
and service delivery. "We consistently hear from our customers their priorities
for managed web hosting are performance, reliability, security and scalability.
We believe we continue to win in the marketplace because these key factors have
long been Digex's value-proposition."

The Company's expansion of its sales force remains on track. Quota-carrying
salespeople grew to 91, out of a total Digex employee base of 785, as of March
31, 2000. Over 50% of the company's employee base has achieved advanced levels
of technical certifications. Digex believes one of the keys to achieving its
goals and maintaining a competitive advantage is winning and retaining customers
through a combination of a direct sales force and a highly skilled technical
workforce.

Quarterly highlights for Digex include:

- -        Growth in core managed Web hosting services for enterprise clients,
         with new additions including JP Morgan, Advanta, Pharmacia and Fleet
         Credit Card, and dot-com customers, including RedMeteor.com,
         independenttraveler.com, loquesea.com, tellthemnow.com, Medem.com,
         childU.com and I2Networks.com.

- -        Focus on the Application Service Provider managed hosting market under
         the Digex app-Link program with the addition of new ASP customers
         including AppNet and support for the Lotus Domino platform.

* EBITDA consists of earnings (net loss) before interest expense, interest and
other income, income taxes, deferred compensation, 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 site and application 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.
