VERSIJA is one of Latvia’s earliest internet pioneers, founded in 1991 when the local market had barely heard of the "Internet." They began as a small email node and grew into a leading ISP with a portfolio spanning high-speed optical and wireless connectivity, server hosting and rental, administration, email, web hosting, and domain registration/support. From 1996 until 2002 they operated under a National Operator’s License from EUnet, which is why many still associate the brand with "EUnet Latvia."

A landmark in their evolution is VERnet DC, a company-operated data center commissioned in 2011 in central Riga and built to Tier II–III requirements. They emphasize carrier diversity, strong local peering, and physical security. The "Business Class Internet" concept is a core differentiator: high throughput, uninterrupted connectivity, and dedicated personal managers for each client—positioned as a standard they formalized and promote under their trademark.

Product coverage is broad for infrastructure needs in Latvia:

• Business Internet (optical/wireless): high-speed access with continuity guarantees and client-assigned managers.
• Colocation & Rack Rental: from single servers (1U, tower) to full 42U racks with power tiers, security, and monitoring.
• Dedicated Servers: fixed monthly rental on standard Dell/HP platforms and an option for bespoke builds (including GPU).
• VPS: resource-guaranteed virtual servers with vSphere access, multiple OS options, and included IPs.
• Servers & Solutions: solution design for HA, storage at scale, and network security, with hardware sourcing from major OEMs.
• Hosting & Domains: traditional web hosting and domain registration/management for complete service coverage under one roof.

🏢 Data Center

VERnet DC (company-owned and operated by SIA VERSIJA) is located in central Riga and was commissioned in 2011. It aligns with Tier II–III requirements, spans about 200 m², and supports up to 50 racks. Architecture leverages an older, inherently robust stone structure (vaulted ceilings, thick walls) modernized with contemporary construction methods for dust/moisture control and stable microclimate.
Key infrastructure:

• Cooling: ventilation & air-conditioning with N+1 redundancy.
• Power: online UPS (Newave SA) with modular N+1 redundancy; automatic diesel generator (SDMO) engages if mains isn’t restored within ~30 seconds.
• Connectivity: two independent fiber links to the VERnet backbone; at least two independent international channels; connections to LIX and SMILE, plus direct peering with Latvian providers.
• Security: 24/7 on-site physical security, controlled access with logging.
• Uptime: public materials cite 99.99%; a separate, credit-based public SLA is not published.

✍️ Customer Support

Support channels are straightforward:

• Phone: (+371) 67210909
• Email: mailto:info at VERnet-DC.lv

For infrastructure customers, the service model includes a personal manager under the Business Class Internet standard. Optional server administration and managed services are available by agreement for VPS, dedicated, and colocated hardware.

🔨 Control Panel

VPS includes a vSphere client control panel at no extra cost for routine VM management. Dedicated/colocation users typically rely on OS-level administration, with optional IP-KVM and remote power (IP-PDU) add-ons. Traditional shared hosting and email are offered, but specific control-panel branding for shared hosting is not clear.

🎯 Conclusion

VERSIJA combines historical depth in Latvia’s internet landscape with a compact, practical data-center footprint and a services catalog that covers most infrastructure needs: business internet, VPS, dedicated, colocation, and full-rack rental. Strengths include company-owned DC in Riga, redundant power/cooling, solid local and international connectivity, clear entry-level pricing on VPS/dedicated, and hands-on options like IP-KVM, PDU control, and administration. The Business Class Internet promise and assigned managers add a service layer many regional ISPs lack.

Potential limitations: pricing and specs are very Latvia-centric, there’s no advertised money-back guarantee, and the public SLA information is limited to a general 99.99% uptime claim without published credit terms. For organizations needing reliable footprint in Riga with direct access to engineers and flexible on-premises options, they remain a credible, locally anchored choice.
