Targets Resellers and SMBs looking to gain greater reliability and scalability.

Verio, a provider of online business solutions including hosting, applications and managed services, today announced the launch of its VPS Starter Plans designed specifically for businesses that have outgrown their current shared hosting solution due to experienced or expected growth.

The company states that its VPS Starter Plans are ideal for small and medium sized businesses and resellers that require more dedicated space and enhanced scalability than standard entry-level shared hosting plans can provide. Available on both Linux and FreeBSD platforms, the plans include multiple domain names for hosting multiple web sites, deliver increased disk space, memory and process limits to drive high-capacity functionality for growing businesses.

It explains that the VPS Starter Plans allow solutions providers, business leaders, and small enterprises to hand off backend IT management such as data backups, server security, and software updates to Verio – enabling companies to spend more time focusing on core businesses functions rather than on IT management. It adds that customers will also benefit from the dedicated-like performance of the VPS solutions, which is made possible through Verio's FairShare technology – a technology that offers individual, fully-isolated space on Verio servers.

"Verio continuously looks for ways to improve our product offerings, and these enhancements are just the latest of our regular efforts to provide improved services to our partners and our customers," said Steve Renda, vice president of sales and marketing at Verio. "We have noticed that increasingly, small businesses are growing at a rate where they cannot rely on shared servers to get the dedicated resources and space they need. Now, small businesses can gain the benefits of dedicated hosting – such as reliability and scalability – without the associated costs."
