Comments on: A failing industry? The death and decline of the web site hosting industry http://blog.readysetconnect.com/2008/06/a-failing-industry-the-death-and-decline-of-the-web-site-hosting-industry/ An inside look into ReadySetConnect and the Web Hosting industry Fri, 23 Oct 2009 11:38:16 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: how to build muscle http://blog.readysetconnect.com/2008/06/a-failing-industry-the-death-and-decline-of-the-web-site-hosting-industry/comment-page-1/#comment-5031 how to build muscle Thu, 26 Feb 2009 21:44:11 +0000 http://blog.readysetconnect.com/?p=30#comment-5031 I'm surprised to hear that the demand for web hosting has gone down. I mean free hosted blogs and other services have been around for so many years I'm not so sure if thats the reason. Perhaps todays generation anyone who wanted to get their own webhost is more likely to have done so already years ago. And also maybe todays generation is less entreprenuer and educated so less likely to want to learn how to host their own website. I’m surprised to hear that the demand for web hosting has gone down.

Can you see any 'bigger' sites using them? I don’t see it as the end, sites like MySpace, Youtube, Piczo, whatever, are for personal use! Can you see any ‘bigger’ sites using them?

Just think about it for a moment. Over the years you stated 2000 - 2004 some of the largest and the largest hosting companies came out of the wood work, for instance, ENOM, GODADDY and IPOWER. So if you think that Godaddy has about 23% of the web hosting market then it would make total sense. Hosting companies are becoming house hold names, that is why it is important for hosting companies to monetize there offerings and marketing prowess. It no longer is enough for a company to just be listed on the search engine, you need to lure clients in, in other places.

There were always free web hosts although most required more technical ability than sites like MySpace or YouTube. I think it's more of a solidifying of the web as a necessity for any company. A higher number of people have websites and no longer need to search for hosting. Perhaps when they need a new site, they stay w/ their current host. It does seem, however, that there are a small number of hosts that a large percentage of the website owning population use. This may be why it's a difficult time for the smaller hosting companies.

There is something missing here. The internet is growing every day and new websites go online. You cannot host an ecommerce site on myspace. So why is the decline in search terms like dedicated servers and business hosting? I’ve been watching the same graph lately.

But there are also a lot of advantages in owning your own website. So maybe it is just fair and square... Let's just see where the trend will take us...
