[Thehostingnews] Web Hosting Report from Tier 1, Defines Mass-Market Sector, Identifies Trends
The 36-page report, "A 4Q06 Review of the Mass-Market Hosting Sector: Change Continues to Sweep the Sector, but Opportunities Remain," provides a market size/share review and comparison of companies in the North American and European mass-market hosting sector. This is followed by a review of major events - executive appointments, datacenter expansions, new products and services - and a detailed discussion and analysis of important trends and developments that are driving the mass-market hosting sector, as well as insight into where this market is going. It is surmised that consolidation in the mass-market hosting space is creating new leaders that are reinvigorating the sector's identity. This is all taking place amid quickening adoption of broadband and multiple web presence possibilities for consumers, businesses and everything in between. The findings are contained in a report released by Minneapolis-based Tier1 Research (T1R), an independent research firm that analyzes the financial and industry implications of developments affecting public and private companies within the IT, communications and Internet sectors. This is the third report from the T1R Mass-Market Quarterly Series - a series of reports designed to provide timely analysis and perspective on key technology trends and marketplace developments in mass-market hosting.Philbert Shih, Senior Analyst at T1R and lead author of the report explained, ''Hosting at the mass-market level continues to experience commoditization pressure as it increasingly becomes a common denominator across a widening scope of technology service providers. We believe that noteworthy changes in market share along with the trends that developed around the 4Q06 period are telling for possible future directions of this marketplace."The trends covered in this report include:
Industry consolidation slows as it gears up for 2007: After a busy few quarters, 4Q06 was relatively quiet, but two new equity firms have entered the sector and could begin rolling up mass-market sector assets.
Internet giants lurking: The Internet giants continue to make moves that potentially threaten the livelihood of mass-market hosters.
Shared hosting under attack by functional hosters, Part III: Social networking sites are reducing the need for shared hosting accounts, but offer interesting opportunities for hosters.
