                                        related note, DomainSponsor is reporting
                                        that its European division just
                                        logged its fifth consecutive quarter of
                                        revenue growth. The company said
                                        revenues in Q1-2011 saw a double digit
                                        increase over Q4-2010.  |  
                                      | The
                                        company credits the upward momentum to
                                        ongoing investment in new optimization
                                        technology, which they say has yielded
                                        stronger financial performance for
                                        clients and better direct navigation
                                        results for end-users.
