State of the Business
by Liquid Web CEO Matthew Hill

As the year of 2006 comes to a close and I reflect upon what Liquid Web has accomplished over the past 12 months, I can say confidently that this has been a profound period of progress for Liquid Web. We completed and launched our second datacenter, a $20 million dollar state of the art facility located in Lansing Michigan. The completion of this facility is indeed an incredible accomplishment for our organization, and will accommodate the next 8,000 Liquid Web managed servers.

The infrastructure features exceptional physical security, ample power and complete network redundancy. Perhaps most importantly the facility contains ample space for our on site managed support staff. We have doubled our technical support and engineering teams to ensure that our esteemed level of service is maintained in this period of growth.

The state of Michigan has recognized our rate of growth and is equally enthusiastic about what is on the horizon for Liquid Web. We were recently honored by the Chamber of Commerce along side the North American President of General Motors, another Michigan company, as one of eight of Mid-Michigan's top businesses. While I accepted this honor personally, I considered myself only a proxy for the recognition deserved by what I would consider the highest skilled technical team in the industry.

With the year of 2007 nearly upon us, we will see many of the investments we have made this year in terms of innovation and service improvement will come to fruition in current product enhancements, as well as entirely new product lines. From enhancements to backup services, enhanced windows offerings, and concise centralized system level health monitoring systems for all managed server clients, the product enhancements are both exciting and innovative. These features are slated to be offered to all current clients without additional charges.

I for one am grateful for the opportunity to communicate with you as a Liquid Web client, and look forward to growing with your business in many years to come. I wish everyone a happy and prosperous new year from the entire team at Liquid Web.

Liquid Web CEO and Founder

Windows Enhancements Coming Soon!

At Liquid Web we understand that Windows Server hosting is in high demand and the market is rapidly growing. The most recent Netcraft survey that showed a significant increase in market share over the past 6 months. To accommodate this rapid growth, Liquid Web has been working closely with Microsoft and Implement.com to improve our Windows Products.
