Shared hosting. Very convenient for maintaining end clients.
By 'big' we mean something imaginary. What is a big website? What are the trends in hosting services? What is being done right now?
What is a big website? There are different opinions. Is it someone with many impressions or someone with a large audience? Or because it ranks first on Google? Another criterion is what advertising budget one spends – does that make a website big? And the best assessment is what revenue that website generates. By revenue we mean actual revenue, not profit. For our company, every website is big from the perspective that if it has 5 visits today, the fifth one could be from the 'Client'. For many people, a website is just the domain name. For some, not receiving a certain email can also be a big problem.
What are the trends and what determines them? One of the most competitive segments and one of the most globalized segments. In Bulgaria, almost 400 companies claim to offer some kind of hosting, but few actually do. Technologies are developing, there are bigger technical parameters. This allows us to provide increasingly better technical parameters to our clients. Big websites want big resources. Modern software has increasingly higher requirements. New software requirements also demand development in other areas. Desires can be unlimited, but reality has its own limits. How expensive is the internet? The number of unique visitors is increasing more and more. This means there are more and more websites, but the fact is that internet consumption is rising. We reach certain pivotal stages where the equipment through which huge traffic must pass needs to become increasingly bigger and more powerful. One type of problem is hardware, which can escalate to a certain level, but then it becomes much more expensive. Another interesting trend is that everyone wants to buy hosting. Even people with little computer skills. But as good as that is, it complicates maintenance, requires more time for consultations, explanations from specialists, and so on. People are learning, but it's not happening fast enough. Serious consideration is being given to implementing CDN. Shared hosting SAAS, application hosting is very important. Distributed infrastructures – a website being able to run on many servers.
How does SuperHosting.bg help?
Infrastructure is constantly being improved. Support has been elevated to an art form. Enormous attention to clients and care for them. Support for Bulgarian internet is being provided. Clients know that assistance will be given to similar events that move the entire segment forward. Windows hosting is planned to launch in a few months. There is a partnership with Google, for which vouchers are provided. Payment for topping up Google accounts will also be possible here. That's a bit off target, but there are many inquiries. People don't want to enter cards on the internet; they prefer to come to the office to top up their account. Registration of .bg domains will start soon. Services for SSL certificates have been improved, as well as an expansion of certification services.
