Verio .. to host with them or not?
 

They offer caching in 4 areas, managed firewall services along with 100% uptime and 99.9% hardware uptime. Server would be fixed within 90 mins.

Are there any horror stories I should know?

Anyone host with them in Northern Cal?

Hosted with them in the early days and had hassles about content policies.

The future COGENT?

check my sig... oXeo is the best!

Saying they are the best doesn't help.

Why are they? Do they offer similar features?

Anything else? Speed? Reliablity? Service?

Verio is supposed to be one of the best places for speed etc.



** I Currently host at Webair and am Happy, but a client wants to move and wants to use them **

Not for Adult hosting, not at all.

No FreeBSD / OpenBSD
No real Adult business knowledge and its tech requirements.
No ICQ support or other chat client.

You do get 50 GB of data transfer a month for $400 with your dedicated server. LOL

or....

Talk to one of the many adult hosts on this board that can offer you FreeBSD/OpenBSD, Have ICQ and chat support, as well, can offer you bandwidth at MUCH more reasonable prices.

Also, most hosts here are multihomed, so if one ISP goes down, the other pickup the traffic.

Verio has been known to crash at times.

nice insite, I've heard they have changed? Or is this recent?

Recent, as in this month....

I also worked there for 3 years while back. :) I still know people that work there

been with Verio for years. Don't have but good 2 say about them.
A lot of webmasters think or use to think they didn't want Adult, that's far from true. Just make sure you tell them it's Adult, you don't want 2 end up on a server that's in Utah, no adult on those servers

I have hosted mainstream sites at verio for 5-6 years and have always been happy, for adult I would not use verio, I use webair and jupiter for adult, both are top notch :2 cents:

anyone else?
