As we all know Web Hosting companies
provide space to upload a website along with domain name or the
website name registered by the user. Most companies outsource the
service of data centers located around the world, others have their
own infrastructure.
Internet has become
the life line of world business in turn making the hosting market
showing growth always, as more and more businesses look forward to
have their own websites. In spite of the economic downturn that
influenced the world economy as never before hosting market has grown
to have 54,821
hosting companies spread around 248 countries of the world as on Sep,
01, 2009. Still with United States tops the list of hosting companies
with 24,805 hosting companies.
Till now people have
the first preference towards hosting companies in United States, it
is a common belief that these companies have better infrastructure.
But the reality is that these companies have easy access to the most
advanced technology and infrastructure, and now this is available in
all countries around the globe.
A good example for this
is India, being a developing country has 1,150 hosting companies as
on Sep,01, 2009. Nowadays people even from the non English speaking
countries are hosting websites as the latest browsers support all
languages as a result, the countries like Germany, Spain Turkey, and
Netherlands have more number of hosting companies. It is a fact that
not many people of the world know Chinese, even then it is surprising
to know that china has 508 hosting companies.
People who want to
host their website expect a good service and after sales support that
too at a better price. Everyone knows that infrastructure is going to
be similar, so the hosting market is concentrated on after sales
support and price tag the domain space carries with it.
