April 5, 2007; 07:28 AM

Centennial, Colo. – Verio Inc., a leading provider of online business services, hosting and managed solutions, today announced the viaVerio® Partner Rebate Program designed to give solution provider partners serving small to medium sized businesses (SMBs) the opportunity to earn incremental cash incentives to streamline their accounts under the viaVerio Partner Program.

Migrating customer accounts to the Verio hosting platform is easy for viaVerio solution provider partners, both from a practical and financial standpoint. The viaVerio Partner Rebate Program will pay viaVerio partners from $50-$500, depending on the hosting plan selected, for each account they migrate to Verio. In addition, solution providers signing up now will receive double payouts with all setup fees waived through the end of April. Verio can assist solution providers who are transitioning a large number of accounts with the migration process, building on its industry experience in doing this for other channel partners and wholesale and strategic partner accounts.

Based on direct feedback from the channel, the updated viaVerio Partner Rebate Program will feature new verification and payout processes that will help expedite rebates, enabling partners to more efficiently pass on the benefits to customers. The program will also help partners offset some of the set-up costs that are often associated with signing new customers.

For channel partners concerned with the day-to-day headaches associated with managing multiple accounts from various hosting providers, the viaVerio Partner Rebate Program is a welcomed arrival. Solution provider partners now have a cash incentive to consolidate their hosting accounts under one program, which will help simplify their hosting business.

“Competition in the Web hosting market has grown exponentially over the past few years,” said Jim Ciampaglio, senior director of the viaVerio Partner Program. “The Partner Rebate Program offers our valued reseller partners a leg-up in this competitive market by providing them with an exceptional resource for potentially saving hundreds and thousands of dollars – simply by streamlining their own business operations with a proven industry leader in Verio. It’s a win-win situation for both them and their customers.”

The viaVerio program provides solution providers with access to a variety of high-value hosting services. Verio’s 360° Managed Servers family of hosting solutions gives partners access to a diverse portfolio of hosting technologies to help them maintain and grow their IT infrastructures. The 360° Managed Servers family consists of Verio's 360º Managed Private Server and 360º Virtual Private Server product lines on UNIX, Linux and Windows platforms.
