The only difference being that once those markets are consolidated to a few key players, they become very different. You can't just start an airline overnight.

You can't just start an airline overnight. It requires massive capital upfront. A hosting company simply requires a server.
- larrys 13y agoThe biggest deal with doing hosting is not even the server. It's a) getting customers but actually even more important b) supporting those customers. c) A good online site to take care of the majority of the issues that come up. d) "c" helps keep down the "rtfm" type calls. The "iron" and everything else is fairly easy. So a hosting company is really people if you can solve the people problem you can definitely make money in hosting. Despite what Marco says the average retail hosting customer is not looking to switch their hosting if they get "good enough" service. Most don't even know that there site is down. (They do know when their email is not working of course because that they are constantly checking).
