The end for small hosts?

The dot-com era boom and bust has changed the way that the webhosting business works. Gone are the days of high cost hosting and big ticket add ons, replaced instead by cut price hosting and additional services that are practically free.

And as Google and Microsoft prepare to enter the market - and threaten to drive prices even further downward - many have started to wonder if this could be the end for small hosts.

While it might seem that only large-scale hosts will have the customer base to keep turning a profit, there are ways the smart smaller host can quickly transform their operation, tap into new customer bases and start raking in the profits.

In this the second show in this five part series focussed on webhosting, we talk with Mark Hall, Founder and COO of WebHost Automation, the company that produces the Helm 4 webhosting control panel.

Here, he reveals a way you can avoid the trap of downward pressure on pricing. By making a small change in your operation, you can begin offering premium services, a change that could enable you to take your operation in an entirely new direction - one that offers much higher returns.

So grab a pen and paper, turn up your sound and watch this show to find out what the future of webhosting is, and how that could revolutionise the webhosting industry!
