There is a surprising lack of new details here.

I try to keep an open mind about these things and just look at the data. So far, they seem to be doing even better under EIG but run independently. I hope it continues that way but I will just keep watching and write about it if it starts t

March 2013. From what I've been tracking, their reputation has only improved since. It seems running independently is going well for the time being.

Hopefully this new venture is a bigger version of CB though.

Sorry if that wasn't clear. I thought saying I was tracking this data made it obvious. Apologies if that caused any confusion.

Shared hosting is tricky. There are a million brands and lots of flavors of the week. The really small guys, some of them are probably great. It's really hard to tell though, they are 1-2 person operations that last for who knows how l

If you think this is the beginning of that phase you haven't been paying any attention at all. Just look up Endurance International Group. They own many (most?) of the major consumer brands and snag up new ones regularly. I can think o

It's always interesting to hear people talking about trends they see in a web hosting company. The first thing I do is check and see if their experience actually matches what I see in the data. http://reviewsignal.com/w

If you are starting to research your options you may find the data my startup publishes useful: http://reviewsignal.com/webhosting/compare It tracks what people are saying about many of the big hosting providers on Twi

Another problem with small hosts is small sample size. Hosting is an odd product that everything is good until it's not. Many/most people never really have any sort of 'experience' with their hosting company. Which ends

That was the first thought that jumped to my mind too. I expected a completely different article. To be clear I agree with what he wrote, but I didn't expect that topic.

Probably depends what you mean by market. Do people read them? Sure. Are you trying to see if this is a viable business? Probably not. It sounds like you're stuck and looking for an easy solution. Shit happens. Some hackathons just don

Here is a different source, very different numbers, but GoDaddy is just many times bigger than anyone else. They are also growing (in absolute terms) faster than anyone else. http://www.registrarowl.com/report_registrar_tota

We'll have to agree to disagree on how it was meant then. They bought the DLS system which turned them into the dominant player on both sides of the market today by a large margin. They own the market now.

It doesn't. But NameCheap is a drop in the bucket from an industry perspective. Take a look http://www.webhosting.info/registrars/top-registrars/global/ They have 32% of the market. WildWest is also GoDa

Maybe this time around it will actually happen. They tried to IPO in 2006 as well. I am guessing at this size there aren't many potential buyers considering their revenue was 1.3B last year. I think their growth might have slowed down

Honestly, I am as shocked as you are about the positive conclusion. I try to put aside personal feelings when thinking about it from a business perspective. The downside here I think is going to be for domainers and competitors in the domai

I am not making the argument that afternic is the entire domain market. I do believe it was/is the missing piece for GoDaddy owning both the consumer and secondary marketplaces and it will allow them to be the only company to put them

He basically admits he didn't even consider the arguments. He calls the person a coward for posting anonymously. He's attacking the person's behavior irrelevant to the argument. Attacking the man, and admitting he never consi

You're pretty much making a text book ad hominem attack. You're going after him instead of his argument. It's as simple as that.

I am based in DC, $100/hr isn't unreasonable at all if you can actually deliver results. You seem too focused on external factors like college student, average salary, etc. The real factors are how much value are you delivering fo

He's walking through how to crack his own software and you are complaining that he is anti cracking culture? If this is your attempt at humor, it's really failing.
