With all these threads from hosts...
 

Will 2008 be the year that hosts get ruthless and really battle it out? Last year saw some vicious content provider/producer battles, will we see the same from the hosting providers?

PS: Mojohost rocks :)

gfy is run off dreamhost

yes see sig

It'd probably run faster if it did :winkwink:

1998 was that year.. 2008 is the year hosts are CONTINUING the battle :)

It's always been a battle.... No question about it that starting my company in 2002 was a very late entry into the hosting arena, I think if there were any windfalls in this sector that they were long before we came along.

I think that what we will continue to see by many hosts is a "race to the bottom" with pricing, driven by most host's inability to gain new clientele at margins that actually contribute to healthy growth and proper service delivery. As has always been the case, this eventually catches up to hosts and results in short sales/acquisitions or in worst case scenarios insolvency.

Best of luck for a prosperous 2008 to the many worthy competitors that post here.

Cheers,

Brad
