Verio has launched Advanced Business Hosting, a new category of webhosting that provides enterprise level hosting for SMBs. Utilising their underlying Virtual Private Server (VPS) technology, Verio’s new webhosting provides customers with dedicated containers that are individually optimised for web, email and database functionality.
Verio claims that understanding the needs of small and medium-sized businesses, its new webhosting provides simple-to-use hosting services with improved performance such as isolated resources and multi-site capabilities.
Verio said that this new webhosting enables SMBs to host business critical applications that require a secure environment and go beyond a standard informational website and use hosting as the tool that integrates their business with their website.
According to Verio, the new webhosting benefits include: security-hardened applications, secure email, security monitoring and automatic patches and updates in every Advanced Business Hosting account; hosting offerings that are managed from an intuitive Control Panel; support for multiple websites and multiple domains within the same account plan; and all hosting plans feature isolated, private resources for web, email, database and bandwidth.
Ray Boggs, vice president of SMB Research for IDC, said: “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.
“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.”
