Conley succeeds Justin Jaschke, who founded the company in 1996 and led Verio to become one of the largest domain-based Web hosting providers in the world. Jaschke subsequently presided over Verio\'s successful public offering, and a strategic acquisition by NTT Communications in September 2000 to establish one of the world\'s leading IP services companies. He will remain with the company in an advisory capacity, working with Conley, who takes over as CEO effective Feb. 9.
