If you are looking to manage your own servers, OS, patches, security, etc. then a Verio server is not for you.  With a Verio server you can get full root access and install whatever you want, but you will not have to manage the OS, security patches and updates because those are taken care of.

Dan is correct.  I am a Verio reseller and have been using their products since the turn of the century.  The VPS product is excellent.  I use if for all my own personal stuff.  The MPS is also an excellent option if you outgrow the VPS.

Speaking of Backup's.  Verio machines 3 forms of redundant backup that come standard with their systems.  I have used them on several occasions and been very grateful for them.  This is one reason I have not switched to other providers.

Honest, even if you do not use my services, you owe it to yourself to check out Verio products.
