Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $24.4 million, an increase of $7.4 million, or 43%, over cost of revenue of $17.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Of the increase in cost of revenue, $3.0 million resulted from increased depreciation, hosting and maintenance costs as a result of scaling and adding capacity to our hosting infrastructure. Additionally, $2.3 million and $607,000 of the increase resulted from increased personnel costs attributable to additional employees in our customer support group and operations group, respectively, because we increased the number of employees to support our customer growth and manage our infrastructure. We also experienced an increase of $562,000 in our occupancy cost allocation due to the increase in employees in our customer support group. Approximately $337,000 of the increase related to higher credit card fees due to the higher volume of billing transactions. Outside facilities expense increased by $251,000 related to our experts program seminars. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue was 30% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 29% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase as a percentage of revenue was due primarily to the 54% increase in depreciation, hosting and maintenance costs as compared to the 39% increase in revenue.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $8.9 million, an increase of $2.4 million, or 37%, over general and administrative expenses of $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses were 11% for each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. The increase in absolute dollars was primarily due to additional personnel related costs of $1.2 million because we increased the number of general and administrative employees to support our overall growth, and because our stock-based compensation expense increased due to additional stock option grants. We incurred increased professional fees and insurance of $598,000, primarily due to transaction costs associated with our acquisition of NutshellMail in May 2010, as well as increased systems consulting costs. We also experienced an increase of $310,000 in our occupancy cost allocation due primarily to the increase in employees.

We raised approximately $90.4 million in net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering costs. We used $2.6 million of proceeds to repay our outstanding principal and interest under our term loan facility.
