Ok so the hosting market is pretty saturated, what i want to know is:
Are you making a profit yet? If so then does it increase, decrease or stay pretty much the same each year?

The market is not saturated. Its saturated with crappy hosts...but not enough good/stable/friendly ones. If you fall into the latter category - you'll most likely find that there are TONS of new customers to be had. :D

The ones who complain about market saturation are the ones not creative enough to make a profit :beer:

It's the same as any business really: Differentiate.

The retail market was saturated in the 80s and 90s and yet Wal-Mart came in, as did many other of the chains we see today. Survival is all about being recognizable.

Differentiate. Yes right on.

"Differentiate or Die!" by Jack Trout is a good read. Good luck.

I am not in hosting business but happened to bump
into this thread.

It's kind of interesting that even as fast as the industry changes, a thread that's two years old has information that's still actually pretty current.

sonicfreedom - Did you realize this thread was from 2002? :)

Wow! Nope.
I landed on this page from a search engine search on
"market saturation" :)

So is the hosting biz saturated?
