It has been reported there are currently more than a
staggering 50,000 web hosting providers all competing
for the honor of hosting your website. Every day
dozens of new web hosting companies are launching and
struggling to get your attention and your web hosting
business.
Even though the web hosting industry is really quite
young, it is certainly one of the most competitive and
cut-throat industries on the web today. Yet the growth
of this marketplace is assured for the foreseeable
future.
Each and every week it is estimated more than 50,000
websites are launched and need to be hosted somewhere
online. This figure continues to grow and grow.
In fact the current monthly count for the number of
searches at Yahoo for the term 'web hosting' is a
whopping 2,149,851. That's right, over 2 million!
Also just recently it was reported that the
popularity of blogs was seeing tens of thousands of new
blogs launched each and every day. While many of these
are hosted freely, the more serious bloggers each
require an account with a reliable web hosting provider.
Of course every paid web hosting account usually
requires at least one domain name registration. Here are
some amazing domain name figures for you:
The registrar holding the largest number of domain
names is said to be WildWestDomains. They may be better
known to you as Godaddy. They currently hold over an
estimated 5 million domain name registrations!
The registrar holding the second largest number of
domain names is estimated to be Enom. The registrar
holding the third largest number of domain names is
estimated to be Networksolutions.
Domain Name Registration Growth:
By far the most popular top level domain is the .com
There are currently over an estimated 40 million of
these registered.
The .com top level domain currently holds over an
estimated 70 percent of the domain name marketplace.
The .net top level domain currently holds just over
an estimated 10 percent of the domain name marketplace.
The good news for web hosting and domain name
customers is that incredible deals have become available
as competition increases among web hosting providers.
In fact the price of web hosting has plummeted to
just under $10 per month for a quality service. Domain
names that cost up to $35 just a few years ago can now
be bought for as little as $4.99.
This is a winning situation for both the web hosting
providers and their customers. The new web hosting
providers must impress their customers with good service
and in doing so can compete with more established
organizations.
There has never been a better time to find a web
hosting provider and establish an internet presence of
your own.
