Can anyone point me to some statistics on the projected growth/value of the web hosting market? I'm particularly interested in shared or SMB hosting.

I dont think you are going to find any..:bawling:

Your best bet would be to talk to specific hosts that have been around for a while.

Don't you know you can find anything with Google :D. According to IDC the SME hosting market is projected to grow to $20.8 Billion by 2006. The revenue for 1999 was $2 Billion, and the revenue for 2000 was $4 Billion, and in 2001 it was $5.2 Billion.

You can find out more detail by purchasing the document for $4500 :D.

Note, this only covers the US hosting market.
