As I tend to wander around the internet, i keep comming accross more and more webhost, I would imagine somewhere during just the past week I have visited 7 or 8 hundred and I know their is a multitude more possibly as many as 10000 webhosting companies. My question is how can people be expected to find customers with this kind of competition. On top of these large numbers, I come accross more and more small numbers, these numbers belonging to those insepid retards offering everything unlimited for $2.95. These people who do not care where they will be at a year from now or what customer they will screw in the process, because all they want to do is fill their ego with all these customers they signup in the here and now. How long can they hope to keep going.

Okay okay I relalize this more of a rant that anything else but my question where do you see the webhosting biz and your company;

1. a year from now
3. 2 years from now
2. the overall future.
4. and how will these $2.95 people forever influence our business for years to come

1. Hopefully I will get to a level where I can get to a level where my business is automated enough that I can spend less time running it. I also hope I will have a steady enough income that I don't have to advertise. I don't really have any desire to be the biggest one.
2. By this time I may want to sell my company or just keep it on the backburner.
3. No idea.
4. They will be the same as they always have, in & out of business constantly, they pose no real threat because eventually the average consumer will pick up on it. Although, now that bandwidth prices are coming down, they may make some money.
