2006 Recognition and Awards

When we say Verio offers you "award-winning service," we're referring to the ever-growing list of industry awards shown below.

As part of NTT Communication's family of companies -- and as a leading provider of global IP solutions -- Verio is proud to be recognized for innovation in products, advances in services, and delivery of both to our customers.

More importantly, like the Oscars or Grammys, each of our awards is prestigious because Verio has been identified by our industry peers for outstanding service and achievements.
