A reflection on the history of web site hosting in 2006

Hello anyone,

My name is Marge and along with a bunch of other dedicated and part time (but also very dedicated) webmasters we created the bestwebhosting2006.com site to tell you about what was happening in web site hosting in 2006. FYI we also have moved on to report information about web hosting in 2007 & web hosting in 2008.

2006 was a wild ride for many of us in web site hosting as we saw the emergence of the super large web hosting companies go out & just try to acquire as much business as they possibly could through completely unjustified plan increases and mind boggling discounts to new customers.

Some of the more notable companies that we see as emerging in the market as leaders are well known names like: Lunarpages, Bluehost, Startlogic and Dot5Hosting.

As we try to recreate some of the driving forces behind web hosting in 2006 we will see many references to these companies as well as others who also tried to stay competitive but without sacrificing so much integrity for their system environments.

So begins a reflection of 2006 web hosting,

Marge
