                      Warrant to Purchase 2,601,626 Shares
                                of Common Stock

     NaviSite, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby certifies
that, for value received, CMGI, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("CMGI"), or any
transferee to whom this warrant (the "Warrant") is properly transferred (the
"Holder"), is entitled, on the terms set forth below, to purchase from the
Company at any time until 5:00 p.m., Boston time, on December 15, 2005 (the
"Expiration Date") 2,601,626 fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Common
Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of the Company, at a
price per share equal to $6.91875, subject to adjustments as provided below (the
"Purchase Price").

     This Warrant is being issued pursuant to the Note and Warrant Purchase
Agreement dated December 12, 2000 between the Company and CMGI (the "Note and
Warrant Purchase Agreement").

     1.   Exercise of Warrant; Conversion of Warrant; Transfer of Warrant.

          (a)  Exercise of Warrant.  At any time prior to 5:00 p.m. on the
               -------------------
Expiration Date, the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the
Holder, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company,
together with an executed Notice of Exercise or Conversion, substantially in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit A, at the Company's primary executive office,
                        ---------
with payment by check to the Company of the amount obtained by multiplying
<PAGE>

the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which this Warrant is being
exercised by the Purchase Price.

          (b)  Conversion of Warrant.  In addition to, and without limiting, any
               ----------------------
other rights of the Holder hereunder, the Holder may elect to convert this
Warrant, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at any time prior to
5:00 p.m. on the Expiration Date by surrendering this Warrant to the Company,
together with an executed Notice of Exercise or Conversion substantially in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit A, at the Company's primary executive office.
                        ---------
Upon receipt of such notice and surrender of the Warrant by the Holder, or on
such later date as specified in the Notice of Exercise or Conversion, the
Company shall deliver to the Holder within a reasonable time, without payment by
the Holder of any cash or other consideration, that number of shares of Common
Stock computed using the following formula:

          X =  Y(A-B)
               ------
                 A

Where:    X =  the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder.

          Y =  the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which this
               Warrant is being converted.

          A =  the Fair Market Value, as defined below, of one share of Common
               Stock.

          B =  Purchase Price.

               If the Common Stock is traded on the Nasdaq National Market, the
Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock shall be the closing price quoted
on the Nasdaq National Market, as published in The Wall Street Journal on the
                                               -----------------------
date of determination of Fair Market Value. If the Common Stock is not traded on
the Nasdaq National Market, but is traded on an exchange or over-the-counter,
the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock shall be the closing price
quoted on the exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or the average of the
closing bid and asked prices of the Common Stock quoted in the Over-the-Counter
Market Summary, whichever is applicable, on the date of determination of Fair
Market Value. In all other cases, the Fair Market Value of one share of Common
Stock shall be determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors (the
"Board").

          (c)  Partial Exercise.  Upon any partial exercise or conversion, the
               -----------------
Company will issue to the Holder a new Warrant for the number of shares of
Common Stock as to which this Warrant was not exercised or converted.

          (d)  Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be
               ------------------
issued upon any exercise or conversion of this Warrant.  Instead of any
fractional share which would otherwise be issuable upon exercise or conversion,
the Company shall pay a cash amount in respect of each fractional share at a
price equal to an amount calculated by multiplying such

                                       2
<PAGE>

fractional share (calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a share) by the Fair
Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise or conversion,
as applicable, minus the Purchase Price. Payment of such amount shall be made in
cash or by check payable to the order of the Holder at the time of delivery of
any certificate or certificates arising upon such exercise or conversion.

          (e)  Taxes.  The Company will not be required to pay any tax imposed
               ------
in connection with any transfer involved in the issuance of a Warrant or a
certificate for shares of Common Stock in any name other than that of the Holder
hereof, and in such case, the Company will not be required to issue or deliver
any stock certificate or Warrant until such tax is paid.

          (f)  Transfer of Warrant.  Transfer of this Warrant to a third party
shall be effected by execution and delivery of the Notice of Assignment attached
hereto as Exhibit B and surrender of this Warrant for registration of transfer
          ---------
of this Warrant at the primary executive office of the Company, together with
funds sufficient to pay any applicable transfer tax.  Upon receipt of the duly
executed Notice of Assignment and the necessary transfer tax funds, if any, the
Company, at its expense, shall execute and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Warrants representing the
right to purchase a like aggregate number of shares of Common Stock.

     2.   Antidilution Provisions.

          (a)  Reorganization, Reclassification or Recapitalization of the
               -----------------------------------------------------------
Company. In case of (i) a capital reorganization, reclassification or
-------
recapitalization of the Company's capital stock (other than in the cases
referred to in Section 2(c) hereof), (ii) the Company's consolidation or merger
with or into another corporation in which the Company is not the surviving
entity, or a merger in which the Company is the surviving entity but the shares
of the Company's capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger are
converted, by virtue of the merger, into other property, whether in the form of
securities, cash or otherwise, or (iii) the sale or transfer of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets, then, as part of such reorganization,
reclassification, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer,
lawful provision shall be made so that there shall thereafter be deliverable
upon the exercise of this Warrant or any portion thereof (in lieu of or in
addition to the number of shares of Common Stock theretofore deliverable, as
appropriate) and without payment of any additional consideration, the number of
shares of stock or other securities of property to which the holder of the
number of shares of Common Stock which would otherwise have been deliverable
upon the exercise or conversion of this Warrant or any portion thereof at the
time of such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation,
merger, sale or transfer would have been entitled to receive in such
reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger, sale
or transfer. This Section 2(a) shall apply to successive reorganizations,
reclassifications, recapitalizations, consolidations, mergers, sales and
transfers and to the stock or securities of any other corporation that are at
the time receivable upon the exercise or conversion of this Warrant or any
portion thereof. If the per share consideration payable to the Holder for shares
of Common Stock in connection with any transaction described in this Section
2(a) is in a form other than cash or marketable securities, then the value of
such consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Board.

                                       3
<PAGE>

          (b)  Splits and Combinations.  If the Company at any time or from time
               ------------------------
to time after the date of this Warrant subdivides any of its outstanding shares
of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Purchase Price in effect
immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and,
conversely, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock are combined into a
smaller number of shares, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such
combination shall be proportionately increased.

          (c)  Reclassifications.  If the Company reclassifies or otherwise
               ------------------
changes any of the securities into which this Warrant may be convertible into
the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this
Warrant shall thereafter be convertible into such number and kind of securities
as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the
securities into which this Warrant was convertible immediately prior to such
reclassification or other change and the Purchase Price therefor shall be
appropriately adjusted.

          (d)  Liquidation; Dissolution.  If the Company shall dissolve,
               -------------------------
liquidate or wind up its affairs, the Holder shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to exercise this Warrant effective as of the date of such
dissolution, liquidation or winding up. If any such dissolution, liquidation or
winding up results in any cash distribution to the Holder in excess of the
aggregate Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant
is exercisable, then the Holder may, at its option, exercise this Warrant
without making payment of such aggregate Purchase Price and, in such case, the
Company shall, upon distribution to the Holder, consider such aggregate Purchase
Price to have been paid in full, and in making such settlement to the Holder,
shall deduct an amount equal to such aggregate Purchase Price from the amount
payable to the Holder.

          (e)  Adjustment Certificates.  Upon any adjustment of the Purchase
               ------------------------
Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or
conversion of this Warrant, a certificate, signed by (i) the Company's President
and Chief Financial Officer or (ii) any independent firm of certified public
accountants of recognized national standing the Company selects at its own
expense, setting forth in reasonable detail the events requiring the adjustment
and the method by which such adjustment was calculated, shall be mailed to the
Holder at the address set forth in Section 6 hereof and shall specify the
adjusted Purchase Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise or conversion of the Warrant after giving effect to the adjustment.

          (f)  No Impairment.  The Company shall not, by amendment of its
               --------------
Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the
Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all
provisions of this Section 2 and in the taking of all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against
impairment. The Company shall not be deemed to have avoided or to be seeking to
avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be

                                       4
<PAGE>

observed or performed hereunder by issuing securities after the Closing Date for
a consideration per share less than the Purchase Price then in effect.

          (g)  Application.  Except as otherwise provided herein, all
               ------------
subsections of this Section 2 are intended to operate independently of one
another. If an event occurs that requires the application of more than one
subsection, all applicable subsections shall be given independent effect.

     3.   Notices of Record Date.  In case (a) the Company takes a record of the
holders of the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any
dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any
shares of stock of any class or any other securities;  (b) of any capital
reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the capital stock of the
Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another
corporation, or any conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company to another corporation; or (c) of any voluntary dissolution, liquidation
or winding-up of the Company; then, in each such case, the Company will mail or
cause to be mailed to each Holder of a Warrant at the time outstanding a notice
specifying, as the case may be, (i) the date on which a record is to be taken
for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount
and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the date on which
such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and time, if any is to
be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other stock
or securities at the time receivable upon the exercise or conversion of the
Warrant) will be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such
other stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon
such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and, in the case of a reorganization,
consolidation, merger or conveyance, the fair market value of such securities or
other property as determined by the Board.  Such notice shall be mailed at least
ten days prior to the date specified therein.

     4.   Replacement of Warrant.  Upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) upon delivery of an
indemnity agreement in such reasonable amount as the Company may determine, or
(in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company
at its expense, will issue a replacement.

     5.   Transferability of Warrant; No Redemption.  This Warrant and all
rights hereunder are freely transferable by the Holder, subject to compliance
with applicable state and federal securities laws. This Warrant shall not be
redeemable by the Company, in whole or in part, at any time.
