With the economy slowing as a result of inflation, it’s hard to say what the impact is on hosting. Web Hosting Unleashed interviewed four key executives at various hosting companies about what impact the |
economy has made on their business, and the results varied.
Here’s what WebHostingBuzz COO and resident DJ Matt Russell had to say about the matter:
“With the global economy in tatters and many of the West facing a “credit crisis”, we’ve noticed a number of things:
1. We have far fewer inactive websites. Most websites are there for a purpose, whereas before we’d have many clients signing up just to test out some features.
2. Our international client base is growing fast. The weak dollar makes our plans very attractive to those outside of the U.S.
3. And of course, consumers are more price-savvy as they have less money to spend.

Here’s a question for our resellers, have you noticed any up or downtowns as a result of the economy?
