A Review of ‘Verio’
"Very Professional web hosting"

You can surely expect VERY professional web hosting from one of the IT industry’s internet-shaping pioneers, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the world’s largest telecommunications company and IP services provider, NTT. That company is none other than the multi-award winning, VERIO.

Since it was founded in 1976, Verio has achieved spectacular success and is now a highly respected, multi-national web host player, in over 170 countries on 4 continents. Over 500,000 customers around the globe, is proof enough why Verio enjoys such an enviable reputation as one of the best and most trusted web hosts in the industry today.

Reliability

And this is no empty claim with over half a million satisfied Verio customers as convincing proof.

Date Centers – To augment customer satisfaction and deliver uninterrupted live operation of its customers’ websites, Verio has comprehensively equipped regional data centers in the US, Europe, Asia and Australia. Network architecture and all servers are monitored by a regional team of highly qualified technical engineers around the clock. This continuous monitoring also helps Verio to achieve its consistent 99.9% network uptime performance.
