Liquid Web, a managed web hosting company headquartered in Lansing, has secured space in downtown Ann Arbor (315 W.

The new location includes 4,000 square feet of office space, to be staffed upon grand opening (to be scheduled TBA Summer 2014) by 20 employee, which positions are posted for now at http://www.liquidweb.com/jobs

Liquid Web eventually hopes to hire more than 75 positions in development and support within the next 3-5 years. While also working on developing upon its existing US West infrastructure in Phoenix, Arizona as well as European expansion, the company states that this is phase I of a plan that could extend to further development in Ann Arbor, if successful.

Liquid Web Founder and CEO, Matthew Hill, explains the company's decision to branch out to Ann Arbor, MI:
--"In the 17 years since launching Liquid Web, I have watched the city of Ann Arbor make great strides toward becoming a true US technology hub. Already benefiting from a handful of talented employees commuting to Lansing from Ann Arbor, we have long desired to integrate with this wonderful city's growing technological ecosystem and infrastructure. Tapping what has been rightly been recognized as a remarkable talent-base in the Ann Arbor area, we hope extend our services in new and exciting directions in 2014."

Liquid Web serves a client-base that spans beyond 120 countries while offering 24/7/365 customer support and proactive server monitoring for those hosting websites with the company. It has been recognized amongst INC Magazine's list of 5000 Fastest Growing Companies seven consecutive years, starting in 2007.
