Verio Offers High-Speed Internet Access to Businesses
In Four More U.S. Markets
Verio Now Provides DSL Internet Access in 22 Major Markets With the Addition of Service in Denver, Orlando, Seattle and St. Louis
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Oct. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Verio Inc. (Nasdaq: VRIO - news), the world's largest domain-based Web-hosting company and a leading provider of comprehensive business Internet services, today announced it has added Denver, Orlando, Seattle and St. Louis to the growing list of cities it serves with its nationwide digital subscriber line (DSL) Internet access services. Verio now provides DSL services to businesses in 22 major U.S. markets and plans to offer the increasingly popular high-speed access service in Miami by year's end.
Verio is offering NorthPoint Communications (Nasdaq: NPNT - news) DSL services in Denver, Orlando, Seattle and St. Louis as part of its Power Pack DSL service, a one-stop bundle of Internet services for small businesses and home office users that includes Web-site hosting, multiple domain-based e-mail accounts, and around-the-clock customer support. Verio's Power Pack DSL services are available in a variety of packages starting at $140 per month. Customers who sign up for service
prior to December 31, 1999 will receive installation and their first month of service for free.
DSL is ideally suited for small and mid-sized businesses and telecommuters because it provides fast, ''always on'' and affordable high-speed Internet access using existing telephone lines. Capable of transmitting voice and data at speeds up to 50 times faster than dial-up Internet access, DSL services enable organizations to increase the productivity of their online business activities and eliminate downtime caused by dial-up service interruptions and busy signals.

''High-speed DSL Internet access gives businesses greater speed to power their Web and e-commerce sites, and to use virtual private networks and emerging broadband applications such as Web-based software rentals and voice services,'' said Greg Falconer, director of DSL products for Verio. ''In addition to the Verio Power Pack bundled packages that combine DSL access and our industry-leading Web-hosting services, Verio provides a variety of standalone DSL solutions designed to help businesses match their specific Internet needs with the right access speed.''
In addition to high-speed DSL Internet access and Power Pack DSL solutions, Verio offers a diverse selection of shared, dedicated and co- location Web-hosting services for small and mid-sized businesses. Prices range from $24.95 per month for entry-level hosting to $3,200 per month for highly sophisticated hosting services.
