Leading Communication Provider Selects Verio For Global Hosting Solutions
Denver, CO - May 26, 2009 — Verio Inc., the leading provider in
delivering online business solutions to SMBs worldwide, including web hosting,
application hosting and Software as a Service (SaaS), today announced an
agreement with ePLDT, the premier information and communications technology
company in the Philippines and a subsidiary of the Philippine Long Distance
Telephone Company (PLDT) (NYSE:PHI), to provide Verio's global hosting solutions
to its small business customers.
Under the terms of the agreement, ePLDT will offer Verio's award-winning
Signature Unix and Windows® hosting plans to their customers in the Philippines
and throughout the region. These hosting products will be offered as stand-alone
business solutions as well as bundled with ePLDT's DSL (digital subscriber line)
services. The number of small business in the Philippines currently exceeds half
a million and that number is expected to grow significantly over the next
several years. ePLDT expects to capitalize on this growth by providing Verio's
global hosting solutions and SaaS applications to both current and potential
customers as part of this new product offering.
"After evaluating several competing solutions, we quickly realized that Verio
was the only choice for us given their superior technology solutions, high
reliability, worldwide presence and extensive experience," said Jose Emmanuel L.
Colina, Head of Product Management and Development for ePLDT. "Their
customizable back end systems and world-class support allow us to deliver market
leading solutions to our SMB customers while aggressively growing our business."
Verio's Global OEM program provides telecommunication companies, cable providers
and other large, enterprise organizations turnkey hosting solutions specifically

share by extending into new markets without adding infrastructure costs or the

from leveraging Verio's experience and expertise as the only global hosting
provider specifically focused on the SMB market. ePLDT joins the prominent list
of National Carriers currently participating in the program, located in fourteen
different countries and on four different continents.

infrastructure and would deliver the reliability that their customers have come
to expect," said Peter Von der Linde, Senior Director of OEM Sales for Verio.
"We are honored they have selected Verio after an extensive evaluation process
and believe this partnership further solidifies our position as the global
leader in outsourced hosting services, while also adding another
telecommunications provider to our impressive list of OEM partners."
