Web Hosting Trends for 2006
If you are thinking about creating a website you have just made
the right click. *US eCommerce will hit $230 billion in online
retail sales by 2008. That is up from $96 billion in 2003. By
2008 online retail sales will account for 10% or more of the
total US retail sales in 2008. There will be a total of 64
million US consumers that will shop online by 2008. There will
also be an expected 245 million US surfers on the internet. That
is up from 234 million in 2003. More shoppers are buying books
and travel packages. We will see growth in food and beverage,
sporting goods, home goods and others.
*Consumers are enjoying the many advantages from shopping
online. These advantages consist of saving time, convenience,
and availability of information from vendors, no pressure from
sales people and better prices.
Efforts by online retailers to optimize online shopping
experiences will help spark this growth over the next three
years. Online retailers are investing more heavily in site
design, usability testing and high performance servers with
minimal downtime. The founder of iSeaNetworks, Robin Casey says,
"Growth on the internet means that there is a strong need for
business owners to get a website. We want to help businesses get
on the web. By offering affordable Linux web hosting, merchant
accounts and script install services we hope to inspire new and
existing website owners to make their dreams a reality."
