Within the three months ended March 31, 2023, price of subscription and help
income elevated $1.3 million, or 8%, in comparison with the three months ended March

community internet hosting providers of $180, $1.3 million, and $690, respectively. These
will increase had been offset by a lower in content material supply community bills of
$968. The remaining enhance was as a result of varied different bills that, in
combination, elevated by roughly $100.
