Verio Chosen as Premium Web Host for Mason Designs
SAN FRANCISCO -- March 8, 2004 -- Mason Designs announced today that its new choice for Premium Web Hosting will be NTT/Verio. According to Christopher Mason, the CEO of Mason Designs, the decision was made largely because of the strength of Verio's infrastructure and their reputation as the best Web Hosting Provider available. "We just want to be able to provide our customers with the best that's available - whether it's Graphic or Web Design, Internet Marketing, or Web Hosting. Verio is the best web host out there."
 
The change will take place January 1, 2004. All current Mason Designs customers will be switched to the new servers on or before February 1, 2004. Customers will be switched to the new hosting provider with absolutely no interruption of service, according to Isabel Ehringer, President of Verio's Enterprise Hosting Business Unit.
 
The difference will be noticed by Mason Designs customers right away. The control panel is very user-friendly, and the web stats program is excellent (see Urchin Reports for more information). The new Web Hosting Provider guarantees 99% uptime - the most reliable Web Hosting available. Further, Verio boasts multiple OC3 and OC12 connections, daily backups, UPS power backup, diesel backup generator, and 24/7 network monitoring.
