May 27, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider LiquidWeb (liquidweb.com) said on Friday that it is planning to begin construction on a major new data center facility and headquarters.
In an understandably sparse press release, the company promised an invitation-only press conference in the upcoming weeks to herald the opening of the new facility. The company offered no information on the location of the new facility in its release, though it did say the data center would include 90,000 square feet of usable space - enough to accommodate 25,000 new servers and several hundred new employees.
LiquidWeb's two existing data centers are located in Lansing, Michigan. The first, built in 2003, includes 11,000 square feet of data center space. The second, built in 2005, includes roughly 32,000 square feet of space.
Unless the Lansing-based company is planning to move its headquarters to another city, it's a fairly reasonable assumption that the company's new data center and headquarters will be located relatively close to its existing facilities.
The company says it currently has 135 employees and more than 20,000 customers.
