New Year - hosting industry changes

I personally hope the enormous amount of overselling will stop or least level out... its getting ridiculous. Also I hope the amount of fraudulant sign ups can be reduced greatly
I doubt it will stop. My personal hope is that people will begin to realise that you get what you pay for instead of basing their decisions just on price and then wondering why their site is only up 90% of the time etc.

I believe there is a premium hosting market. I also believe that it is strong and big enough to accomodate those who are ready to compete on it. Let me just say that those who take their wallets out to pay for a $99/mo plan are quite educated, and they know exactly what they are buying. Even the least reasonable people might agree that a minimal research was made - its not that hard to type in "hosting" on any search engine to get a ballpark figure.

The difference is whether you are purchasing a Ford or a Maserati. Both takes you from location A to B, but Maserati does it nicer. If someone can pay $100 for a plan sold for $2 elsewhere, why shouldn't you take the money? Its all comes down to unique selling proposition. If you can convince and provide premium service/setup/whatever it is that makes your package worth $99 rate, then kudos to you.

Best,


The difference between a Ford or a Maserati ... I think on the net ... the difference in between a Ford and a Ford red painted like a Maserati ...
This is my point of view
 
some how i dont think it will stop the price of servers are coming down , and they will always go for the cheapest , but in the end they will learn the hard way !
