Web Hosting Worldwide Market Strategies - Wintergreen Research Inc.

Internet usage is driving the rapid growth of Web hosting. Businesses are increasing the breadth and depth of Internet product and services offerings to respond to the revolution in marketing that has been brought by the Internet. Economies of scale provided by the Internet are driving growth.

Web hosting addresses the need for hardened Intent sites that provide centralized security, battery backup, generators, and earthquake protection not generally available in enterprise IT centers. Internet operations are mission-critical for Internet-centric businesses and are becoming increasingly mission-critical for many enterprises.

To ensure the quality, reliability, availability and redundancy of mission-critical Internet operations, corporate IT departments must make substantial investments in facilities, personnel, equipment, and networks. Frequent upgrades reflect changing technologies. Upgrades need to scale rapidly as the enterprise Internet site traffic grows. Recurring and significant investment occurs as the enterprise struggles to reduce inefficient use of resources. Significant need exists for outsourcing. Systems increase performance, provide continuous operation of Internet solutions, and reduce Internet operating expenses.
