Verb is a fully hosted solution. This means that there is no software to install, no hardware to buy, and no maintenance requirements to fulfill. We host both the Verb CMS backstage interface as well as your website on our servers and network. Hosted solutions can be scary because they are typically very limited in functionality. We have tried to avoid this problem by providing a full-featured web hosting account for every Verb website. This means that you can run PHP/MySQL code, and even install third-party applications such as WordPress, SlideShow Pro, and vBulletin. You can't do that on any of the other hosted CMS services, but on Verb, it's easy. You can even embed VerbML code inside your WordPress templates to manage template content with Verb. New websites are provisioned instantly onto hardware that we already have standing by and ready. Our servers are always kept up-to-date to the latest versions of PHP, MySQL, and all the standard utilities found on a hosting account. We provide full FTP and Subversion access to your web space. We maintain a powerful network and servers and our uptime so far has been about 99.85%. That figure represents total HTTP availability and even includes scheduled downtimes. We're just as reliable as any other host that you might use. We are often asked by government, education, and corporate IT professionals if we sell a version of Verb that can be installed on their local network. Verb is an extremely complicated platform with dozens of intricate moving parts and depends on several external services. As such, it is not possible to offer a purchased/self-hosted version of Verb. If you have this problem, get in touch with us as we might be able to help you persuade your boss into using Verb anyway.
Don't waste time managing servers. Let Verb do the heavy lifting.
