SuperPages.com President Scott Laver commented on the new offering, "After we consolidate all Verizon customers' sites, SuperPages.com will host 60,000 small- and medium-sized business web sites, as well as those for individuals. Many customers need a web site, but may not be savvy enough to develop something like the JibJab.com guys. By providing Verizon customers with the expertise that Verizon SuperPages.com advertisers now enjoy, we can be sure all Verizon customers get the quality and service they expect at a very reasonable price."

Hostopia.com Inc. provides managed hosting services, including self-serve web hosting tools and business applications, specifically designed for Verizon customers.

Small and medium-sized businesses that want to build their own sites can use a simple site-building wizard that allows businesses to easily build and publish a site in less than an hour using a hybrid platform that eliminates the need to choose between Unix and MS platforms.

Several levels of service are available, for the small company with basic needs to a larger business that sells products online. Monthly costs range from $9.95 to $99.95 per month depending on the hosting solution required.

Businesses interested in obtaining more information about Verizon's web site hosting and development can go to http://my.superpages.com and click on Products to find out how to build and host a business site.

SuperPages.com also offers a suite of full-serve web hosting products for businesses that want a web site, but do not want the hassle of building the web site themselves. All full-serve web sites are designed by a team of creative experts at SuperPages.com.
