Liquid Web Acquires Web Hosting Firm WiredTree
Liquid Web has acquired Chicago-based web hosting provider WiredTree on Thursday. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
WiredTree was founded in 2006, offering VPS, dedicated servers, hybrid servers, and load balancing clusters primarily to small and medium-sized businesses.
The acquisition of WiredTree comes shortly after Liquid Web acquired Rackspace’s Cloud Sites business unit. In December, the company brought on WordPress consultant Chris Lema as VP of products and innovations.

Old news. The posted it today but this been going on since August 2016.
wow this is pretty funny. Wired Tree came about when some unhappy employees branched out of liquidweb and created their own venture. Now liquidweb bought them out.
Really? I never knew that.
Yep, Zac Cogswell is a former employee of LiquidWeb and he was the owner of Wired Tree.
Thats accurate.
Rackspace Cloud Sites was also created by Rackspace employees who left to create Mosso. Mosso was then acquired by Rackspace.
No reason to not choose LiquidWeb now if one wants a managed solution that is
WiredTree was my first VPS Provider! I also had a Hybrid Server with them later.
IIRC WiredTree founder worked for LiquidWeb before starting his own company so this interesting...
