When industries are being promoted, it is often said that it is a ___ Billion Dollar Industry.

Can someone provide me some statistics about the web hosting industry?

Thank you!

Pfft. I've never seen any statistics about the overall industry, I'd be interested to know. But with hosts appearing and disappearing overnight it's hard to keep track of a total industry value.

Yeah, and seeing of half of us don't pay taxes because we're not registered businesses................................................

I'd say it's pretty far up there though.

You don't have to pay tax to be above board, sole-traders in the UK don't have to pay tax if they're just a small operation.
