Why your web host could be out of business tomorrow

Web hosting RSS Feed





What are the chances of you waking up tomorrow and finding your web host and your website gone? Actually much higher than you may think and there are several reasons for this. For starters, the number of web hosting businesses these days is extremely high and growing all the time. This means that there is increased competition. In this kind of scenario only the fittest will survive. It is the law of the jungle and the law of life too. It means that hosting businesses that do not carefully think through their business plan and strategy are in great danger of soon finding themselves out of business.

Competition usually ushers in something else that is also a great danger to the survival of any business. And that is a price war. Many hosts are trying to outdo each other with the price they offer for hosting. Low prices work because some people are only looking for the lowest price. We fail to realize that a low price puts considerable pressure on any business and more so a web hosting business which is dependant on so many other outside services. It makes it a lot harder for them to pay their bills and sustain their hosting enterprise. This is not to say that higher priced web hosts cannot go belly up on you. They definitely can, especially when they do not have a solid business plan and strategy for survival. There are so many things that can go wrong. Even the hosts who charge an arm and a leg for a tiny amount of bandwidth can easily go out of business. They can fail to get enough clients to sustain their enterprise.

What all this means is that it is very important for every online entrepreneur to take precautions. Look for a hosting company that has been in business for many years. Look for a web host that has in-house employees and is not dependant on the whims of an out-sourced support company based in another country. Be sure to regularly back up everything on your site, just in case.

These are some of the reasons why using a directory becomes useful as you are able to gather some information from a third party with their names at stake. This should help you smell out a bad deal much quicker.
