Worst Year for hosting Industry - Whats your opinion

[TippiE]

This year was pretty good for wrzhost except for all the backstabbers and scammers that appear sometimes.

I believe 2011 - a pretty bad year for Hosting Business.

How you guyz feel about the things happened in 2011.

DONT generalize. if we werent affected then it is NOT. 2 and 3 example are just a small portion and they brought the demise to themselves. they arent even datacenters.

It was a fantastic year. It was the year Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon and loads of others made the push to online cloud technology. You can edit a Google Document on any computer and it's exactly where you left it. You can bookmark an eBook on your tablet and when you open desktop your on the same page, my itunes library is on every device. Dropbox... it's awesome. We even use it at work instead of our own FTP at times it's so easy to use.

All the above are free and only a tiny proportion of what's happened and only personal hosting as an example. Why would I care about some shitty small warez host run by kids having trouble?

Cloud technology was brought to hosting in 2010 lol.

I wouldn't go off the edge on the whmcs exploit any hosting provider should have common sense to wait a few weeks before you upgrade.

Same goes for software.


Whats ruining the hosting business more than anything is the average 16 year old fly by night company.

the decade of awesomness has just began with the ending of this year we have seen some great changes in the hosting ... for some it was bad for some it was good but isn't thats how always the things are ? well i would say the technology is progressing in a vast rate and hosting is expanding like hell
