Shared Hosting Reseller Program To Offer Web Site Development
Suite For Verio's Virtual Private Server Platform
[October 5, 2004]
Verio,
a wholly owned subsidiary of NTT Communications and
a leader in global IP solutions, today announced the
availability of the Accrisoft(TM) Freedom suite of Web
site development tools to viaVerio(R) shared hosting
resellers for the Virtual Private Server Version 2 (VPS
v2). Resellers taking advantage of the offering will
receive both Accrisoft Freedom and a VPS v2 free of
charge for the first two months of service. Verio continues
to strengthen its offerings to the channel, and this
development suite will help create new market opportunities
for viaVerio shared hosting resellers who are working
with their clients to grow these customers' online businesses.
Accrisoft Freedom, hosted by Verio,
has been specifically optimized for Verio's VPS v2 platform.
This powerful suite of tools is designed to help businesses
build and manage profitable Web sites by easing the
process of creating, posting and updating Web content.
Freedom's templates allow for easier, faster site creation,
with no knowledge of HTML coding required.
"Freedom is a proven product that
has good performance results," said Shabbir J.
Safdar, chief technology officer of Mindshare Interactive
Campaigns LLC, one of the largest viaVerio Shared Hosting
resellers. "It has all the earmarks of a code base
that's been used heavily by a large user group, not
patched-up and shipped in the last few months like too
many content management systems we see these days."
Freedom combines tools that small and
medium businesses need to easily and efficiently develop
customer Web sites, including tools that enable:
-- Web Page Management. An easy-to-use
Web word processor allows
end users to add or edit text, additional tools simplify
updates of pictures, graphics or other content. Users
will
also find creation and updates of menus easier.
-- Content Management. Freedom gives
users the ability to easily
publish calendars, news articles and frequently asked
questions; create searchable online directories of products
and employees; and provide information feeds, such as
news,
weather and stock market data.
-- Online Marketing and E-Commerce.
Tools included in the suite
enable creation of original banner ads to help small
and
medium businesses promote products and services, as
well as
build a 24x7 online store. Additional capabilities allow
users
to sell space on a business's own site to advertisers
for
additional revenue.
-- Customer Information Management.
Freedom can assist small and
medium businesses with the collection of customer information
through the creation of sophisticated online forms,
as well as
surveys and online polling of customers.
"Accrisoft is excited about our on-going work with
Verio, with the Accrisoft Freedom product being developed
entirely on the Verio platform," said Jeff Kline,
CEO of Accrisoft. "The real success of our relationship
is driven by the way our combined solution creates "powerful,
affordable Web sites" for Web site owners, which
in turn significantly increases revenue and reduces
administration time for viaVerio resellers."
"Freedom gives viaVerio shared
hosting resellers the ability to easily manage their
customers' sites, allowing them to provide enhanced
Web site development services and helping them to realize
increased sales," said James Treuting, president
of global sales for Verio. "This offering puts
Verio in a unique position, offering software to our
shared hosting reseller partners that has been specifically
designed for our own Verio VPS platform to create a
one-of-a-kind solution."
