"Over the past couple of years, VIA USA has established its position in the market as a Windows-centric small business Web hosting leader," said Darin Elkins, Managing Director for VIA USA. "I look forward to aligning our expertise with our UK-based parent company Claranet to further enable the development and expansion of new services to address growing US market segments."
