and between INTERLAND, INC., a Georgia corporation having its principal
executive offices located at the business address of 303 Peachtree Center
Avenue, Suite 500, Atlanta, Georgia 30303 (the "COMPANY"), and Peter Delgrosso,
an individual residing at the address indicated in EXHIBIT 1 ("EXECUTIVE").
Company and Executive enter into this Agreement as of the date they each have
signed it, but the Agreement shall be effective as of the date established
pursuant to Section 2.1, below.

     WHEREAS, Company desires to employ Executive with the title indicated in
EXHIBIT 1 and the parties wish to establish certain terms and conditions of such
employment by entering into this Agreement; and

     WHEREAS, Executive desires to continue such employment with Company on the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
and agreements contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

     1. Employment; Regular Compensation. Company agrees to employ Executive
with the title indicated in EXHIBIT 1 and Executive agrees to serve in such
capacity on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Company shall
pay Executive an initial base salary (the "BASE SALARY") as set forth in EXHIBIT

discretion, the Company may change Executive's compensation. In addition, the
Company will grant Executive options for the purchase of TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND
(200,000) shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price per share

involuntary, and with or without prior notice. Certain provisions of this
Agreement, however, as more fully set forth in Section 5, below, provide for the
payment of benefits to Executive upon the specified circumstances of termination

employment with Company is on an "at will" basis, and that this Agreement does

Board.

Company, Executive shall devote his full business time and efforts to Company
and its business during normal business hours, and shall safeguard and promote
its lawful interests. During Executive's employment by Company, Executive shall

variations, such as "Disabled," in Company's long-term disability plan, or in

officers, employees, and customers.

     8. Confidential Information and Covenants Not to Compete. The parties agree
that Executive's services to Company are of a unique value and that confidential
and proprietary information about Company has been or will be obtained by,
disclosed or otherwise made available to Executive as a result of Executive's
employment with Company. Accordingly, as a condition to Executive's employment,
Executive and Company also are entering into the Confidentiality, Invention

"CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT").

                                       4
<PAGE>

     9. Dispute Resolution Process. All disputes between Executive and Company
that otherwise could be resolved in court shall be resolved instead by the
following alternative dispute resolution process (the "PROCESS").

     9.1 Disputes Covered. This Process applies to all disputes between
Executive and Company, including those arising out of or related to this
Agreement or Executive's employment by Company. Disputes subject to this Process
include but are not limited to pay disputes, contract disputes, legal disputes,
wrongful termination disputes, and discrimination, harassment or civil rights
disputes. This Process applies to disputes Executive may have with Company and
also applies to disputes Executive may have with any of Company's employees or
agents so long as the person with whom Executive has the dispute is also bound
by or consents to this Process. This Process applies regardless of when the
dispute arises and will remain in effect after Executive's employment with
Company ends, regardless of the reason it ends. This Process does not apply,
however, to any workers' compensation or unemployment compensation claims, to
the extent applicable under the circumstances.

     9.2 Negotiation and Mediation. Executive and Company agree to attempt to
resolve all disputes first by direct negotiations. If direct negotiations are
not successful, the parties shall then use mediation. They shall first attempt
to agree upon a mediator. If unable to agree upon a mediator, the parties shall
request and conduct mediation under the American Arbitration Association's
National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes. Unless otherwise
agreed by the parties, any mediation sessions shall be held in Atlanta, Georgia.
Temporary or interim injunctive relief may be sought without mediating first.
Any failure to mediate shall not affect the validity of an arbitration award or
the obligation to arbitrate.

     9.3 Arbitration. If the dispute is not resolved through negotiation and
mediation, the parties shall request, and either party may demand, arbitration
pursuant to the American Arbitration Association's National Rules for the
Resolution of Employment Disputes. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, any
arbitration hearing shall be held in Atlanta, Georgia. The decision of the
arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties and on all persons and
entities claiming through the parties. Submission of their dispute to
arbitration shall be the exclusive means for resolving the dispute, to the
exclusion of any trial by a court or jury. All disputes that are not resolved by
agreement (in mediation or otherwise) shall be determined by binding
arbitration.

     9.4 Injunctive Relief. Either party may request a court to issue such
temporary or interim relief (including temporary restraining orders and
preliminary injunctions) as may be appropriate, either before or after mediation
or arbitration is commenced. The temporary or interim relief shall remain in
effect pending the outcome of mediation or arbitration. No such request shall be
a waiver of the right to submit any dispute to mediation or arbitration.

     9.5 Employment Status. This Process does not affect the status of the
employment relationship between the parties, which as stated above in Section
2.2 shall be "at will;" nor does this Process guarantee continued employment by

                                       5
<PAGE>

the Company, require discharge only for cause, or require any particular
corrective action or discharge procedures.

     10. Notification. Executive hereby authorizes the Company, or any of its
employees or designated representatives or counsel, to notify Executive's actual
or future employers or any governmental agency of any terms of this Agreement or
the Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement and Executive's
responsibilities or obligations hereunder.

     11. Severability; Survival of Provisions. If any part of this Agreement or
any part of the Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement is held by any
legal authority to be unenforceable or is severed by any legal authority, the
remainder of such agreement shall be enforced to the maximum extent allowed by
applicable law. Certain provisions of this Agreement, including confidential
information and covenants not to compete (Section 8), dispute resolution process
(Section 9), notification (Sections 10 and 21), and governing law (Section 18)
of this Agreement, and all of the provisions of the Confidentiality and
Non-Competition Agreement, shall survive after any such legal determination,
after Executive's employment by Company ends regardless of the reason it ends,
and shall be enforceable regardless of any such determination or any claim
Executive may have against Company.

     12. Relief for Breach. Because any breach or threatened breach by Executive
of Sections 4, 7, and 8 of this Agreement or of the Confidentiality and
Non-Competition Agreement would result in continuing material and irreparable
harm to Company, and because it would be difficult or impossible to establish
the full monetary value of such damage, Company shall be entitled to injunctive
relief in the event of any such breach or threatened breach by Executive.
Injunctive relief is in addition to any other available remedy, including
termination of this Agreement and damages. In the event of any threatened breach
of this Agreement by Executive, Company may suspend any payment of Base Salary,
incentives, bonuses, Severance Benefits and other compensation due to Executive
under this Agreement and, if Executive has breached this Agreement, any
remaining amounts to be paid under this Agreement shall be forfeited. In the
event of any breach or threatened breach by either party which results in
court-ordered relief, the breaching party shall reimburse the non-breaching
party for its reasonable attorneys' fees and other expenses incurred to obtain
such relief.

     13. Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid
unless in writing, signed by the party against whom the waiver is sought to be
enforced. The waiver of any breach of this Agreement or failure to enforce any
provision of this Agreement shall not waive any later breach.

     14. Binding Effect. This Agreement is binding upon the parties and their
personal representatives, heirs, successors and permitted assigns.

     15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which, taken
together, shall constitute a single agreement.

                                       6
<PAGE>

     16. Complete Agreement. This Agreement, together with the attached
Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement, is the final and complete
expression of the parties' agreement relating to Executive's employment by the
Company. Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement replaces and supersedes
any prior employment agreements between Executive and Company, or its parent,
subsidiaries, predecessors or affiliates, and each party to this Agreement
hereby releases and holds harmless the other party from any obligations or
liability with respect thereto. The parties acknowledge and agree that they are
not entering into this Agreement in reliance on anything not set out in this
Agreement. This Agreement shall control over any inconsistent policies or
procedures of Company affecting Executive's employment, whether in effect now or
adopted later, but Company's policies and procedures that are consistent with
this Agreement, whether in effect now or adopted later, shall apply to
Executive's employment according to the terms thereof.

     17. Payroll Withholding. All payments of Base Salary, incentives, bonuses,
Severance Benefits and other compensation payable to Executive pursuant to this
Agreement or otherwise shall be subject to the customary withholding for income
taxes as determined appropriate by the Company, and shall be subject to other
withholdings or deductions as required with respect to such compensation paid by
a corporation to any employee.

     18. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, without giving effect to the
provisions thereof relating to choice of laws. Each party hereby irrevocably (a)
consents to the jurisdiction and venue for any legal action with the state
courts in Fulton County, Georgia and federal courts in the Northern District of
Georgia, Atlanta Division, unless injunctive relief is sought by Company and, in
Company's judgment, that relief might not be effective unless obtained in some
other venue; and (b) waives any jurisdictional defenses (including personal
jurisdiction and venue) to any such action. These provisions do not give any
party a right to proceed in court in violation of the Dispute Resolution Process
under Section 9, above.

     19. Successors And Assigns. All rights and duties of Company under this
Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of its successors,
assigns or any company which purchases or otherwise acquires it or all or
substantially all of its operating assets by any method. This Agreement shall
not be assignable by Executive other than the right to receive benefits being
passed by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

     20. Amendment. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties
relating to the subject matter and may not be amended except by an instrument in
writing signed by both parties; it shall not be amended orally or by course of
dealing.

     21. Notices. All notices required or permitted under this Agreement shall
be in writing and may be personally served or mailed by registered or certified
U.S. mail, postage prepaid and addressed as follows:

      CONFIDENTIALITY, INVENTION ASSIGNMENT, AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT

INTERLAND, INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES, with a place of business located at 303
Peachtree Center Avenue, Suite 500, Atlanta, Georgia 30303 ("Interland"), and
the undersigned managerial employee ("Employee"), agree, in connection with
Employee's employment by Interland and in consideration of the rights and
benefits given to Employee in connection with such employment (the receipt and
consideration of which is hereby acknowledged) agree as follows.

1)   Confidentiality.

     a)   During Interland's employment of Employee (whether in Employee's
          current capacity or in any other future capacity), Interland may
          disclose to Employee, either orally, in writing or by other means,
          trade secrets and proprietary information concerning Interland's
          business, finances, products, customers, vendors, computer technology
          and other technical, commercial or financial affairs of Interland
          which are not in the public domain and which have been reasonably
          restricted by Interland as confidential, hereinafter referred to as
          the "CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION."

     b)   Employee shall hold in trust and confidence the CONFIDENTIAL
          INFORMATION and shall not disclose such CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION to
          any third party, except as agreed by Interland in writing.

     c)   Employee agrees not to use the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION for any
          purpose other than in the performance of Employee's duties as an
          employee of Interland.

     d)   Employee's obligations in this Section 1 will not apply to any
          CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION which was: (i) at the time of disclosure to
          Employee, in the public domain; (ii) after disclosure to Employee,
          published or otherwise, becomes part of the public domain through no
          fault of Employee; (iii) without a breach of duty owed to Interland,
          in Employee's possession at the time of disclosure to Employee; (iv)
          received after disclosure to Employee of such information from a third
          party who had a lawful right to and, without a breach of duty owed to
          Interland, did disclose such information to Employee; or (v)
          independently developed by Employee without reference to CONFIDENTIAL
          INFORMATION.

     e)   The covenants of confidentiality set forth herein (i) will apply after
          the date hereof to any CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION disclosed to Employee
          and (ii) will continue and must be maintained from the date hereof
          until termination of Employee's employment, plus (A) with respect to
          trade secrets (as defined by applicable law), at any and all times
          after termination of Employee's employment during which such trade
          secrets retain their status as such under applicable law; and (B) with

                                       10
<PAGE>

          respect to CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, for a period equal to the shorter
          of two (2) years after termination of Employee's employment, or until
          such CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION no longer qualifies as CONFIDENTIAL
          INFORMATION under this Agreement or applicable law.

2)   Inventions

     a)   Employee hereby irrevocably assigns to Interland all of Employee's
          rights to all Subject Inventions (as defined below) in the United
          States and all other countries and the right to claim priority
          therein. "Subject Invention" means any Invention (as defined below)
          which is conceived by Employee solely or jointly with others and (i)
          relates to the actual or anticipated business, research or development
          of Interland, (ii) results from any work performed by Employee using
          any equipment, facilities, materials, Confidential Information or
          personnel of Interland, or (iii) is suggested by or results from any
          task assigned or performed by Employee for or on behalf of Interland.
          "Invention" means any idea, invention, discovery, improvement,
          innovation, design, process, method, formula, technique, machine,
          article of manufacture, composition of matter, algorithm or computer
          program, as well as improvements thereto.

     b)   If Employee has previously conceived of any Invention or acquired any
          ownership interest in any Invention, which: (i) is Employee's
          property, solely or jointly; (ii) is not described in any issued
          patent as of the commencement of Employee's employment with Interland;
          and (iii) would be a Subject Invention if such Invention was made
          while an Interland employee; then Employee must, at Employee's
          election, either: (i) provide Interland with a written description of
          the Invention on Exhibit 2.1, in which case the written description
          (but no rights to the Invention) shall become the property of
          Interland; or (ii) provide Interland with the license described in
          Section 2(c) of this Agreement.

     c)   If Employee has previously conceived or acquired any ownership
          interest in an Invention described above in Section 2(b) and Employee
          elects not to disclose such Invention to Interland as provided above,
          then Employee hereby grants to Interland a nonexclusive, paid up,
          royalty-free license to use and practice the Invention, including a
          license under all patents to issue in any country which pertain to the

     away, or attempt to solicit, divert, or hire away, any person employed by
     Interland at any facility where Employee performed services or any person
     employed by Interland with whom Employee had regular contact in the course
     of Employee's employment by Interland.

6)   Contracts With Others

          to assign any Work or any Invention created, conceived or first
          practiced by Employee during a period of time which includes the date
          of Employee's commencement of employment with the Company nor is

     Interland because of his or her unique skills and abilities and that, by

     being the "Non-Competition Period"), Employee will not, directly or
     indirectly, (i) be employed (whether as an employee or as a consultant) for

                                       15EXHIBIT 10.3

                                OPTION AGREEMENT

     This Stock Option Agreement (this "Option Agreement") is entered into as of
July 28, 2005 between INTERLAND, INC., a Minnesota corporation (the "Company" or
"Interland") and JEFFREY M. STIBEL ("Executive").

     Interland, Executive and the Company are parties to an employment agreement
dated of even date herewith (the "Employment Agreement").

     In accordance with paragraph 4(c) of the Employment Agreement, in
connection with Executive's entering into employment with the Company, Executive
is to receive a stock option grant with respect to ONE MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED
THOUSAND (1,700,000) shares of the common stock, no par value per share, of
Interland (the "Common Stock").

     Therefore, the parties agree as follows:

     1. Grant of Non-Qualified Stock Option. Interland hereby grants to
Executive the right and option to purchase from Interland, on the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in this Option Agreement, 1,700,000 shares
of Common Stock (such shares, the "Option Shares"; such option, the "Option").
The date of grant of the Option (the "Grant Date") is July 28, 2005. THE OPTION
IS NOT TO CONSTITUTE AN INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 422
OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED.

     2. Exercise Price of the Option. The exercise price for the Option Shares
is $2.29 per share, the closing price of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ National
Market on the Grant Date as reported by Nasdaq National Market System (the
"Exercise Price").

     3. Vesting of the Option. Subject to the earlier expiration or termination
of this Option in accordance with its terms, the Option Shares granted under
this Option Agreement will be exercisable as follows:

     (a) Time-Vested Option Shares. Subject to subparagraph 3(c), the Option
Shares will vest and become exercisable at the rate of 47,222 shares per month,
commencing August 28, 2005. On the three-year anniversary of the Grant Date, all
unvested shares shall vest and become exercisable

     (b) Discretionary Acceleration of Exercisability. The Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors of Interland (the "Compensation Committee")
may, in its sole discretion except as provided in subparagraph 3(c), accelerate
the exercisability of all or a portion of Option Shares without regard to
whether the requirements for exercisability thereof in this Section 3 have been
met.

<PAGE>

     (c) Mandatory Acceleration of Exercisability. Upon termination of
Executive's employment pursuant to Sections 5.2, 5.3 or 5.4 of the Employment
Agreement, all shares subject to the Option will vest and automatically become
exercisable. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6 below, in the event
that at the time any such termination of Executive's employment, the Company's
stock is not then listed on a national stock exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq
National Market System or Nasdaq SmallCap, the Options will remain exercisable
by Executive until such time as the underlying the shares are so listed or
quoted, but no longer than the eighty (8th) anniversary of the Grant Date.

     4. Method of Exercise of Option.

     (a) To the extent then exercisable, Executive may exercise the Option in
whole or in part; except that no single exercise of the Option is to be for less
than 100 Option Shares, unless at the time of the exercise, the maximum number
of Option Shares available for purchase under the Option is less than 100 Option
Shares. In no event is the Option to be exercised for a fractional share of
Common Stock.

     (b) To exercise the Option, Executive shall give written notice to
Interland stating the number of shares for which the Option is being exercised
and the intended manner of payment. The date of this notice shall be the
exercise date. The notice must be accompanied by payment in full of the
aggregate Exercise Price, either by cash, check, note, by delivery of a copy of
instructions to a broker directing such broker to sell the Option Shares for
which this Option is exercised, and to remit to the Company the aggregate
Exercise Price of such Option Shares (accompanied by a confirmation of sale and
a broker's undertaking to follow such directions), or any other instrument
acceptable to the Compensation Committee. Payment in full or in part may also be
made in the form of shares of Common Stock already owned by Executive based, in
each case, on the Market Price of the shares of Common Stock on the date the
Option is exercised; except that in no event is payment in full or in part for
the exercise of an Option to be made with any Option Shares that, as of the date
of exercise of the Option, have been owned by Executive less than six months. If
the payment is in the form of shares of Common Stock, then the certificate or
certificates representing the those shares must be duly executed in blank by
Executive or must be accompanied by a stock power duly executed in blank
suitable for purposes of transferring those shares to Interland. Fractional
shares of Common Stock will not be accepted in payment of the purchase price of
Option Shares. Interland shall not issue Option Shares until full payment for
them has been made.

     (c) As soon as practicable upon Interland's receipt of Executive's notice
of exercise and payment, Interland shall direct the due issuance of the shares
so purchased.

     (d) As a further condition precedent to the exercise of this Option in
whole or in part, Executive shall comply with all regulations and the
requirements of any regulatory authority having control of, or supervision over,
the issuance of the shares of Common Stock and accordingly shall execute any
documents that the Board of Directors of Interland (the "Interland Board"), in
its sole discretion, deems reasonably necessary or advisable to effect such
compliance.

                                       2

     (e) In the case of Executive's death, the Option, to the extent
exercisable, may be exercised by the executor or administrator of Executive's
estate or by any person or persons who have acquired the Option directly from
Executive by bequest or inheritance.

     5. Non-Transferability of Options. Executive shall not assign or transfer
the Option, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. During
Executive's lifetime, only Executive (or, in the event of legal incapacity or
incompetency, Executive's guardian or legal representative) may exercise the
Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Executive, with the approval of
the Compensation Committee, may transfer the Option for no consideration to or
for the benefit of Executive's Immediate Family (including, without limitation,
to a trust for the benefit of Executive's Immediate Family or to a partnership
or limited liability company for one or more members of Executive's Immediate
Family, subject to such limits as the Compensation Committee may establish, and
the transferee(s) shall remain subject to all the terms and conditions
applicable to the Option prior to transfer. The term "Immediate Family" means
Executive's spouse, parents, children, stepchildren, adoptive relationships,
sisters, brothers and grandchildren (and, for this purpose, shall also include
Executive).

     6. Termination of Option.

     (a) Unless vested , the portion of the Option that is not exercisable
pursuant to paragraph 3 as of the date of termination of Executive's employment
by the Company will terminate automatically as of that date.

     (b) This Option Agreement and any portion of the Option not either
terminated pursuant to subparagraph 6(a) or already exercised will terminate
automatically and without further notice at the close of business on the
earliest of the following dates: (i) immediately upon termination of Executive's
employment if such termination is pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Employment
Agreement; (ii) on the first anniversary of termination of Executive's
employment, if such termination is pursuant to Sections 5.2, 5.3 or 5.4 of the
Employment Agreement; or (iii) in any event, the eighth (8th) anniversary of the
Grant Date.

     (c) In no event may the Option be exercised, in whole or in part, after
termination pursuant to subparagraphs 6(a) and 6(b).

     7. Investment Representations. Interland may require Executive, as a
condition of exercising the Option, to give written assurances in substance and
form satisfactory to Interland to the effect that Executive is acquiring the
Option Shares for Executive's own account for investment and not with any
present intention of selling or otherwise distributing them, and to such other
effect as Interland deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with
applicable federal and state securities laws.

     8. Registration of Option and Option Shares. As soon as practicable after
the date hereof, Interland shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 under
the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, to register the resale of the Option
Shares.

                                       3
<PAGE>

     9. Compliance with Law. The Option is subject to the requirement that, if
at any time counsel to Interland determines that the listing, registration or
qualification of the Option Shares upon any securities exchange or under any
state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental or
regulatory body, is necessary as a condition of, or in connection with, the
issuance or purchase of the Option Shares, then the Option may not to be
exercised, in whole or in part, unless the listing, registration, qualification,
consent or approval has been effected or obtained on conditions acceptable to
the Compensation Committee. Nothing in this Option Agreement will be deemed to
require Interland to apply for or to obtain the listing, registration,
qualification, consent or approval.

     10. Recapitalization. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock are changed
into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities
of Interland by reason of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split,
stock dividend, combination, subdivision or similar transaction, then, subject
to any required action by Interland's shareholders, the number and kind of
Option Shares and the Exercise Price for the Option Shares are to be
proportionately adjusted; except that no fractional Option Shares are to be
issued or made subject to the Option in making the foregoing adjustments. All
adjustments made by the Compensation Committee under this paragraph 10 will be
final, conclusive and binding upon Executive.

     11. Reorganization. If, while all or any portion of the Option remains
exercisable, Interland proposes to merge or consolidate with another
corporation, whether or not Interland is to be the surviving corporation, or if
Interland proposes to liquidate or sell or otherwise dispose of substantially
all of its assets or substantially all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
are to be sold, then the Compensation Committee will make appropriate provision
for the protection of the Option by the substitution on an equitable basis of
either (A) appropriate stock of the surviving corporation or its parent in the
merger or consolidation, or other reorganized corporation that will be issuable
in respect to the Option Shares then exercisable, or (B) any alternative
consideration as the Compensation Committee, in good faith, may determine to be
of reasonably equivalent value in the circumstances; and, in either case,
require in connection therewith the surrender of the Option so replaced. In any
such case, the Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, accelerate the
date on which the Option, in whole or in part, becomes exercisable.

     12. Rights as Shareholder. Neither Executive nor any executor,
administrator, distributee or legatee of Executive's estate will have any of the
rights or privileges of, a shareholder of Interland in respect of any of the
Option Shares unless and until those Option Shares have been fully paid and
certificates representing those Option Shares have been endorsed, transferred
and delivered, and the name of Executive (or of Executive's personal
representative, administrator, distributee or legatee of Executive's estate) has
been entered as the shareholder of record on Interland's books.

     13. Withholding of Taxes. Interland's obligation to deliver Options Shares
upon exercise of the Option is subject to Executive's satisfaction of any
applicable federal, state and local income and employment tax and withholding
requirements in a manner and form satisfactory to Interland.

                                       4
<PAGE>

     14. No Special Employment Rights. No provision in this Option Agreement
will be deemed to grant to Executive any right with respect to Executive's
continued employment with, or other engagement by, the Company or any
subsidiary, parent or affiliate or interfere in any way with the ability of the
Company or any subsidiary, parent or affiliate at any time to terminate
Executive's employment or other engagement or to increase or decrease
Executive's compensation from the rate in existence at the Grant Date.

     15. Other Employee Benefits. The amount of any compensation deemed to be
received by Executive as a result of the exercise of the Option or the sale of
Option Shares received upon the exercise will not constitute "earnings" with
respect to which any other benefits of Executive are determined, including,
without limitation, benefits under any pension, profit sharing, life insurance
or salary continuation plan.

     16. Interpretation of this Option Agreement. All decisions and
interpretations made by the Interland Board or the Compensation Committee with
regard to any question arising under this Option Agreement will be binding and
conclusive on Interland and Executive and any other person entitled to exercise
the Option as provided for in this Option Agreement.

     17. Choice of Law. This Option Agreement is to be governed by the internal
law, and not the laws of conflicts, of the State of Georgia.

     18. Successors and Assigns. Subject to paragraph 5, this Option Agreement
is to bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive,
Interland and their respective heirs, executors, personal representatives,
successors and assigns.

Agreement is to be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Option Agreement is held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or

binding effect or enforceability of this Option Agreement. Interland
unilaterally may waive any provision of this Option Agreement in writing to the

provision of this Option Agreement.
