Killing The Hosting market
I just seen some of the European hosting companies are offering very low cost Servers . Under $ 30
They are killing the hosting market. What do you think about that ?

I bet you they're worth under 30 USD as well.

Scale and SLA
Its possible..in a sense that every hosting provider has a different strategy of targeting customers and growing their business
they are going for volumes
any drop in volumes and theyll bleed
economies of scale is a very big factor.
everything like b/w.electricity,hvac,human resources etc is shared except the server.which has a fixed and can be recovered.
clients should care more for their SLAs once they are being provided these services at such a low cost.
they are not killing the business they are creating more possibilites and making more affordable for customers

Cheap servers are their own market. Some will use them some won't.

Yeah, cheap servers and sh*t support. That's the "path to success".

Each market have their own share
No need to worry about it, as long as we can give premium services for our customers.
Not all user know how to manage dedicated server from dedibox/digicube, if that what you mean, many user might choose a ready to go, rather than the unmanaged server.
But, for a highend provider like liquidweb and linode or rackspace, they will still getting customers aren't they?

IMO competition does not kill a market... it just makes service better.

Customers are clever, they use cheap servers for gaming, etc and not for business purpose.

Cheap is okay... But make sure the support and uptime are relatively okay as well!

I use Hetnzer, OVH and Oneprovider (Oneline.net reseller) for game servers. For $39 US I get an E3 server that can host several games. I really havent had any issues with them and if one fais its trivial to cancell it and get a second one going in an hour especially from OVH. So why would I pay $100 more from a more expensive proovider?
You could say OBD 2 scanners are killing the auto shops since everyone can diagnose their own cars but in realitiy 90% of the public wont and doesn't want to.

If you intend to make a living or profit from your website then how much you want to pay for hosting is proportional to your your profit and size of business. Even $300 a year isn't exactly going to cut into your profits unless its just a hobby that earns a bit of money.
If they are affecting the market then I'd guess it might be streamlining / filtering it for the more expensive hosts by attracting businesses seeking it cheap which could be indicative of how they are a business that might fail in general. I've no idea.
The support of my non-cheap frills webhost has been important and saved me hassle.

The support worth much than a $9 server. Why buying a server, a cheap server if the support does not exist or charge $50 for reboot .
Cheap and good are not equal on hosting business
