The Hosting Market
Since I work at Gartner, I use Gartner’s hosting definitions when I talk about the market. We classify the hosting market into four segments: Colocation, Shared Hosting, Simple Managed Hosting, and Complex Managed Hosting. Colocation is unmanaged colocation (“ping, power, pipe”). Shared Hosting is mass-market shared-infrastructure hosting. The Simple Managed segment is typified by management only up to the OS layer, and simple architectures (usually just 1 or 2 servers). The Complex Managed segment is everything else. Cloud infrastructure services span the latter three categories, depending on what they are.
Sample Colocation Providers:
- Equinix (carrier-neutral data centers)
- AT&T (carrier)
- SAVVIS (has a network but doesn’t require its use)
- Peak 10 (regional provider)
- Hurricane Electric (local provider)
Sample Shared Hosting Providers:
- Yahoo! (small business portal)
- GoDaddy (domain registrar)
- 1&1 Internet (shared hosting-focused provider)
- NTT Verio (mass-market hosting, including wholesaling)
Sample Simple Managed Hosting Providers:
- The Planet
- Rackspace (its “Managed” line of business)
- Hostway
Sample Complex Managed Hosting Providers:
My core Gartner notes on the subject (you’ll need to be a client to see these, sorry):
- Market Overview
- Market Forecast
- Magic Quadrant (vendor rating)
Wonderful ideas. I always carry out your suggestions and apply them.

If you are not sure how much space you will be requiring, the best option would
be to locate an affordable host that offers
scalable plans. So, how do you know which hosting option would suit you.
There are different features from different hosting companies that offer different prices.

Hi. I am a Chinese-American psychology graduate student who is fluent in both Chinese and English. I am wondering whether there’s a open position available in your team for a graduate psychology student. Aside from psychology field, I am also a techie since high school and have consistently read book on finance, technology and future.
