Worst Year for hosting Industry - Whats your opinion

[zyb3r]

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.

Reasons are 1) Thailand Flood caused shortage of HDDs , RAM sticks. Which badly affected many server providers and monthly server rental prices also increased :O 2) WHMCS Exploit caused attack on many hosters Including BS,S-Dome. Mass Wipe Out :facepalm: 3) RS ran away with money and many RDP,VPS dealers lost their clients data and money paid towards server renewals. X-( 4) IANA assigned all remaining blocks to Providers. Rating: 5

have to agree with raymond and Mr Happy hosting as a whole had a great year, warez hosting on the other hand yea it was a bad year for some but what do you expect in warez hosting?

also your 2nd point, I am not so sure it was an issue in whmcs many hosts including my legal hosting business are running it no issue. I think it comes down to these hosts do not know how to secure their servers then blame it on whmcs because it was found to have an exploit.

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

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
