Thanks!

I teach IT to Chinese students who want to study abroad in America for college. Interestingly, part of their final grade is to make a powerpoint presentation about how technology (especially computers) has changed over the past ten years.

I came across this page today, and it’s been a big help to my students looking for raw data. And how appropriate that it’s a perfect 10 year period!

Thanks for the research!

One other useful factor left out of the interesting analysis is how the number of Internet users/websites have changed over the 10 year period. Obviously, there would have been an almost exponential increase in the number of Internet users/websites now compared to 10 years ago, and by extension the industry size/revenue.

Though web hosting companies offer more resources now than 10 years ago, they individually and altogether make more money now than then. There lies the incentive to give more features…

One should reasonable expect that in ten years, more value would be delivered per dollar costs, but then costs would be much lower and the industry would be much bigger.

I think where you’ve seen hosting companies differentiate themselves is not on specs but rather on service, support and up time. Hosting the latest greatest technology is relatively easy. Keeping a website online constantly is the difficult part.
