Verio Announces A New Category Of Webhosting - Delivering Enterprise-Level Hosting At A Small Business Price

First-of-Its-Kind Offering to Provide Simple-to-Use Webhosting Solutions with
Isolated Resources Designed Specifically for the SMB
DENVER--(Business Wire)--
Verio Inc.,the leading provider in delivering online business solutions to SMBs
worldwide, including web hosting, application hosting and Software as a Service
(SaaS), today announced Advanced Business Hosting, a new category of webhosting
that provides enterprise level hosting at a small business price. Utilizing
their underlying Virtual Private Server (VPS) technology, Verio`s Advanced
Business Hosting provides customers with dedicated containers that are
individually optimized for web, email and database functionality and are
isolated from other Verio customers all at a price similar to traditional Shared
hosting plans. This new category of hosting provides a company with superior
performance, security and reliability.

"More and more small and mid-sized companies are looking to move to the next
level of online performance, especially as challenging economic times make it
essential to sharpen business practices in an affordable way," said Ray Boggs,
Vice President of SMB Research for IDC. "As they integrate more online functions
into their core business, SMBs have a growing need for secure and reliable
hosting, making resources like those from Verio increasingly important for long
term success."

Verio`s Advanced Business Hosting

Understanding the needs of today`s small and medium-sized businesses, Verio`s
Advanced Business Hosting is the first offering of this kind to provide
simple-to-use hosting solutions with enterprise-caliber performance - like
isolated resources and multi-site capabilities - at an economical price. This
new offering will give SMBs the confidence to host business critical
applications that require a more secure environment and go beyond a standard
informational website and use hosting as the tool that integrates their business
with their website.

Key Benefits of Verio`s Advanced Business Hosting include:

* Scalability - this unique architecture ensures that your website grows as your
business needs grow. No need to migrate to a new plan if you outgrow your
current solution, Advance Business Hosting is scalable and will grow with you as
your future business needs increase.
* More secure - every Advanced Business Hosting account includes
security-hardened applications, secure email, security monitoring and automatic
patches and updates, providing customers with more security than a traditional
Shared hosting plan.
* More reliable - private resources separate a website from other sites on the
server. Resource drains like high traffic, email demands or a corrupt database
from other websites will not affect performance.
* Simplicity - turn-key hosting solutions that are easily managed from an
intuitive Control Panel. All Advanced Business Hosting accounts include
everything required by a small business to get started. Choose either Windows
operating system or Linux, as well as popular applications like EasySite web
design tools, web marketing tools and more.
* Support for multiple, unique websites and multiple domains within the same
account plan - this allows a company to grow and expand their website needs over
time with the same simple control panel/experience, and no additional hassle or
migrating to a new plan.
* Enterprise-level, hosting at a small business price - all plans feature
isolated, private resources for web, email, database and bandwidth. This caliber
of hosting that was once only available to businesses with an in-house IT staff,
is now available to everyone.
