To fulfill the demand for servers, we have been building nearly non-stop all over the office.  We have all gotten very accustomed to stepping over boxes ( and each other ) to come and go as we please.  Luckily for us, we had the opportunity to expand our office by nearly double and we snagged it!  The expansion to our offices will contain a complete assembly line for us to quickly and efficiently build servers, speeding up the amount of time it takes to get servers up and running for customers.

We have some big plans for the office expansion, and if you would like to stay updated, either friend us on Twitter at @kryptservers or become a fan of us on Facebook. ( http://vpls.net/facebook ) Pictures will be posted once construction begins!
