Answer 1

Use html instead of text

function OnSuccess(response) {
    var user = $('#username').val();
    if (response.d == 1) {
        $('#result').html('<b>' + user + '</b> already Exists');
        $('#Button1').attr('disabled', true);
    } else {
        $('#result').html('Username <b>' + user + '</b> Ok');
        $('#Button1').attr('disabled', false);
    }
}
