Anyone have any statistics in hosting company turnover? How many of these startups actually make it through there first year? Ive been looking around and not finding much for information. Also what about customer growth? Average customer growth for hosting companies during x-amount of time? Any responces would be greatly appreciated.....
thanks

I doubt that there are any statistics like that out there since hosting isn't a regulated business and you don't have to be licensed to do so. Thus, that kind of data probably just sin't available.

However, a fun thing to do one day might just to go down to the webhosting requests forum and go back to the earliest date you can find and starting clicking on URL's for those making offers. See if they're still around or not.

Yeah thats what i thought, Thanks for your time anyhow..... Its not really all that important, just out of curiosity and my curiosity def is'nt strong to start to all that research

There are reports that you can purchase online... I can't remember the site for the life of me but as soon as I find it I will post ...
