Emerging web hosting markets for new developers

Web hosting is essential for any website to run and most people seem to know this. The closer the server is to the customer then the faster the website download speed is going to be. With the global trend leaning towards worldwide internet dominance, web hosting companies may be required to have locations across the globe in order to grow. Some markets may be small but untapped, or some markets may be large but inaccessible. This makes for a tough decision on which markets to capture.

To that end, HostDime has singled out two emerging markets based on the future growth of internet access and internet economy.

Why It Pays to Go with a Web Hosting Provider with their own Datacenter

Why It Pays to Go with a Web Hosting Provider with a DatacenterChoosing a web hosting provider can be a difficult decision. There are dozens of providers and a variety of price ranges for what appears to be the same service. It can be confusing for both the average businessperson and the tech savvy. Most consumers seem to be looking for the best value for their dollar in web hosting including configuration, bandwidth, software and most importantly support.

So, how does one decide which provider to go with? A comparative study of hard drives and bandwidth is the simpler side of choosing a provider. However, what can really make or break this decision is excellent service and support. 24/7 customer service and a host that owns, controls, and operates their own datacenter seems to be the logical choice.

HostDime rises to the occasion.
