Sitestar Relisted on OTCBB for Active Trading as "SYTE"

LYNCHBURG, VA--(Marketwire - November 19, 2009) - Sitestar Corporation (OTCBB: [ SYTE ]), a provider of residential, business and wholesale Internet access, web hosting and value-added products and services, announced today that its Common Stock has been relisted for trading on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under the symbol SYTE.OB. The Company expects to return its full focus and energies to growing and diversifying its customer base and revenue stream.

Sitestar was delisted from the (OTCBB) earlier this year due to a typographical error in its Form 10-K filing in which the auditors' report section inadvertently listed the wrong year, causing the filing to be both invalid and delinquent. The reinstatement process required that a market maker sponsor the Company by agreeing to submit a Form 211 to the FINRA OTC Compliance Unit for consideration to return to active trading.

Additionally and subsequent to the issuance of the 2008 financial statements, Sitestar determined that the income tax provision should have been included in the financial statements and deemed that previously reported results should be restated. In response, the company has filed amended quarterly and annual SEC financial filings for 2008 and 2009.

"We are delighted and energized to be on the OTCBB again and look forward getting back to doing what we do best: growing the Sitestar customer base and generating revenue results," said Frank R. Erhartic, Jr., CEO for Sitestar. "Indeed, the process was significantly longer and more lugubrious than our worst-case estimate. Now we can fully focus on acquisitions and other initiatives to grow the Company."

Mr. Erhartic added, "Once again, I apologize to our shareholders for our error. I greatly appreciate their patience and commitment to Sitestar, the management team and our business plan."
