Hosting Market Analysis

There has been a huge increase of resellers - mostly down to the ease and low cost of looking like "your own host". The market for resellers looking to progress (for us) is now swinging to fully managed VPS - the step below a dedicated. This gives resellers the ability to have "root" and learn DNS, creating reseller accounts, handling ip's, installing software etc - but knowing that if they break anything we are on hand to fix it or give advice. Reselling is still a popular way to house multiple accounts for developers. It is much cost saving to resell hosting than start your own. Currently, there are many competitions out there being service providers and I believe that 80% of them are resellers. The cost of these unmanaged dedicated servers has gone down significantly which has opened up possibilities for many web developers and entrepreneurs to run their web servers.
