Verio, a subsidiary of NTT Communications and a leader in managed hosting solutions, today announced it has signed referral agreements with Google and Yahoo! Search Marketing to help customers better market themselves online.

To help small and medium-sized businesses promote their online business, Verio has made arrangements with Google Inc. and Yahoo! Search Marketing who will offer credits to Verio's shared hosting, e-commerce, Virtual Private Server (VPS) and Managed Private Server (MPS) customers.

Google AdWords is currently used by thousands of businesses worldwide to gain new customers in a cost-effective way. Google AdWords delivers targeted ads to web users seeking information about a particular product or service.

Yahoo! Search Marketing pioneered the cost-per-click paid search advertising model and leverages the power of search advertising to connect thousands of businesses worldwide with interested customers.

“A company's Web site-particularly a small business'-is critical to the company's success especially as the site supports the promotion of the company, customer retention and often revenue generation,” said David Chao, vice president of product management at Verio.

In a recent survey conducted by Verio, small to medium business customers identified marketing tools as a key service to help grow their online business.

The current offer marks the latest in a series of product innovation, promotions and new services Verio has introduced this year. In April, Verio unveiled VPS enhancements to ease Web server administration and maintenance tasks, and to provide the tools and solutions needed to better address specific online business requirements.

Recognized for its worldwide reach and ranked as one of the top hosting providers in the US by IDC, Verio will continue its focus on product enhancements and service excellence throughout the year.

Verio Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of NTT Communications (NTT Com), which provides complementary global network access reaching over 200 countries worldwide. Verio is one of the world's largest operators of Web sites for businesses and a leading provider of global IP solutions.
