Relationship Empowers Verio to Provide Customers Competitively Priced Hosting Featuring Red Hat Enterprise Linux

CENTENNIAL, Colo. -- Verio Inc., a leading provider of business solutions online, including hosting, applications and managed services, today announced its status as an Advanced Partner in the Red Hat([R]) Hosting Program. As a certified Red Hat partner, Verio will offer competitive products and pricing to customers for its Linux-based Web hosting solutions, including the virtual private server (VPS) and the managed private server (MPS).

The Red Hat Hosting Program is designed to meet the specific requirements of hosting companies with partner resources to help them succeed in the rapidly growing open source and Linux markets. Businesses around the world recognize Red Hat Enterprise Linux as a leading Linux deployment with many of these businesses looking to hosting providers to help leverage the benefits of this advanced technology, which is considered an industry standard in security and scalability.

Verio's Linux business has expanded considerably since the launch of its VPS with Red Hat Enterprise Linux in February of this year, followed shortly thereafter with the launch of MPS with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Growth in these product lines has proven not only successful for Verio as a product differentiator, but also as a means to strengthen customer relationships.

As a member of the Red Hat hosting program, Verio has proven expertise in Red Hat technology deployments and solutions. The company's status as a Red Hat partner demonstrates its capabilities in delivering Red Hat-based hosting solutions and provides validation that Verio meets Red Hat's standards for partners.

"Red Hat Enterprise Linux has become an integral part of Verio's business in a very short period of time, and has enabled us to deliver the types of Linux-based functional hosting solutions globally that our customers increasingly require to successfully operate and grow their businesses," said Dennis Boyle, chief operating officer for Verio. "The Red Hat Partner Program positions us very well to deliver customers our hosting services, running on Red Hat, in a very powerful, yet cost-effective, solution."
