📜 Plan description

📄 Editorial Review

Verio was a long-running U.S. web hosting brand created in 1996 in Colorado. The company was strongly associated with Justin L. Jaschke, founder and former CEO, while Darin Brannan was also connected with the original founding team. During its strongest years, Verio became one of the best-known hosting and internet infrastructure companies from the early commercial web era, growing through the consolidation of many smaller ISPs and hosting businesses.

The company was acquired by NTT Communications in 2000 through a major transaction valued at about $5.5 billion. At that stage, Verio was already a large hosting and internet services provider, with a significant customer base, a Tier One network background, and services reaching many international markets. Later, the business changed direction: in 2015, NTT divested Verio’s U.S. SMB and shared hosting assets to Endurance International Group. The migration to the newer Verio platform ended on January 16, 2017, after which the old platform was scheduled to be dismantled.

Verio eventually stopped operating as an active independent hosting brand. By 2020, the brand had already been absorbed into Web.com, with existing customers still able to log in but without active new-customer positioning. After Endurance and Web.com were combined into Newfold Digital in 2021, and after Web.com was integrated more closely into Network Solutions in 2025, Verio became part of the wider Newfold / Web.com / Network Solutions ecosystem. Today, verio.com is inactive as a standalone hosting provider and redirects into Network Solutions / Web.com-related pages.

Historically, Verio served individuals, small businesses, and medium-sized companies. Its older catalog included Shared Hosting, Windows Hosting, Linux Hosting, Exchange Hosting, Domain Registration, Web Design, email services, website-building tools, and business-oriented online services. Shared hosting was available on both Linux and Windows platforms. Linux plans included a drag-and-drop site builder, POP3/IMAP email accounts, spam filtering, webmail, and common CMS options such as WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal. Windows plans were based on IIS and ASP.NET, with unlimited-style resources such as disk space, data traffic, email accounts, and hosted domains on selected packages.

The strongest historical value of Verio was its longevity and infrastructure background rather than aggressive low pricing. During the NTT years, the brand had the profile of a serious hosting and internet infrastructure provider. Toward the end of its retail hosting life, however, the service looked increasingly dated compared with more modern hosting companies.
