Hmm. So you still think there's lots of room in the industry?

Yes, i sincerely do. There is a lot of market for sincere hosts. Internet boom may just have reached its top in USA but its just the start for most of the other countries. Its time for hosts to think global...

I do feel as if the web hosting industry is overly congested.

I am also comfortable in saying that most of the companies out there do not deserve to exist.

I do feel as if the web hosting industry is fairly over congested.

Yes being in US, you can say that but there is a lot of room on international front.

I think there's room for other hosting companies, especially by companies of any size who set realistic prices, treat their customers very well, have solid business ethics, and follow through.

There will also be demand for local hosting companies for quite some time - for smaller businesses especially.

The usa is just as congested as everywhere else. You got thousands of these kiddie hosts. Not that I have a problem with young people I am one. I think local hosting companies everywhere have potential. But I think everyone thinks this market is 10x bigger then it really is....

IMO, I believe that in the near future, the hosting industry is going to be bursting with niche-based hosting. i.e., hosting for gaming clans, blog hosting, hosting for bulletin boards, etc.

Thanks guys.

The next generation of personal web sites. Grandma Annabel down the street will have her own web site called "Viagra Connections" :D

If you start talking to people who don't hang out on the internet, you'll soon find people who want to be on the internet for some reason, and just don't know how to do it. There are LOTS of these people.

I believe the generic "just sign up and go" hosting sites are very flooded. Service and support will determine how long you are in businesss, and I don't just mean by how quickly you answer support tickets or your downtime stats, etc. You need to bring solutions to people who don't have any idea what they need, not just be available for them at a cheap price.

Hosting for non-English speakers has a whole lot of room to grow as well.

The hosting market is definitely flooded, especially with kids getting a cheap server and slapping accounts on them through a control panel without having a clue what they're doing. Then when they accidentally kill Apache, the server's "down" for two days.
