included the migration of our Austin data center to our Columbus facility which will result in cost savings of over $250,000 in the next twelve months.

consolidated infrastructure in a redundant and highly scalable environment. These investments will be key in the upcoming near term quarters as we look to launch new products within our
existing portfolio while also driving new sales initiatives. In an environment where firms are scrambling for infrastructure, we'sve positioned ourselves with an internal platform that is
not only scalable, but supports new technologies such as cloud and next-generation hosting.
Mr. King added, The upcoming launch of our Domain Registrar, found at www.lowpricedomains.com , will bring on a new revenue stream that will
allow us to capture a whole new audience of customers as well as complement our existing suite of hosting services. New product launches like domain registration, as well as expansion in
collocation and (http://www.alentus.com/dedicated-hosting/server.asp) will drive our objectives to aggressively fill
existing capacity in our data centers. This, in conjunction with ongoing cost reduction activities, will allow us to improve our gross margins during the rest of the year.
