Web hosting company Verio Europe B.V., owned by NTT Communications Corporation, announced that it will be renamed to NTT Europe Online B.V. to reflect the changing focus of the company's business. The name change will come into effect in October 2006.

In the recent years Verio Europe has considerably expanded its product portfolio and enhanced its service delivery and support processes. This enabled the company to strengthen its focus on the design, delivery and management of business-critical Internet infrastructures and online solutions, moving away from its origins as a shared hosting provider.

"The last few years have been a period of great growth for the business," states Kazuhiro Nishihata, President of Verio Europe. "Our focus on solution led services, partner development and service delivery means that we are now frequently challenging the market leaders in the managed hosting space, providing business critical services to global organisations across a range of vertical markets. The name change is in recognition of our continuing growth within this industry."

NTT Com was recently included in the challenger quadrant of the Gartner Magic Quadrant for pan-European Web Hosting (Gartner, 30 May 2006 GJ06316), further substantiating the company's progression in the market. The Gartner report evaluates a company's ability to execute its services and the completeness of its strategic vision.

Verio Europe, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation, designs, hosts and manages business-critical Internet infrastructure and online solutions for organisations with high performance e-business needs.
