Where do you see hosting in 5 or 10 years from now? What will be the normal?
At first I thought it will be centralised. But then again I rethought and understand that cyber crime will be at an all time high that people won't like to keep every thing at a single place. May be something like CPU sharing as we do now will happen to hosting as well.
Do you think that the cloud hosting will be the future?
I think Cloud Hosting will be the future, but I don't think you will ever replace dedicated servers.
I was thinking that as well but, I have also thought were everything is on internet and they is no actual hardware.
I think there will always be hardware but it will be so good that it will cost pennies to run it all!
I like that though, I agree you would need some type of hardware.
I have been reading that some companies are starting to build datacenters in Iceland because you don't need cooling and its cheep for power! Which is think is a win win for customers who are looking for cheap dedicated servers.
I know of a bitcoin cloud mining company that has a datacenter in Iceland and their costs go down the more people buy from them! Which is good for their customers.
Cloud hosting FTW. ;)
Yes Cloud hosting is to stay!
I hope there is a crazy advancement in technology to something of ghost in the shell level or better and suddenly we can host our personal websites using the spare processing power inside our own brains.
I think as for 'real life' hosting things are going to become a lot more self healing.
A ton more back end automation, better automatic provisioning of dedicated servers, etc.
We may even see robotics enter the datacenters to replace hardware and cabling on custom built racks holding custom built machines.
Ghost in a shell, haven't seen that in ages. I do agree with the robotics though.
i think after 5 to 10 year, servers are very cheap with high config and easily available for clients.
Due to the increase in digital trends, the hosting companies (https://www.bodhost.com/) are getting more demand.
As the research done by the Market Research Future, it says 'The Global web hosting services market is expected to grow approximately at USD 154 Billion by 2022, at approximately 16% of CAGR between 2016 and 2022.'
Thus, you can see there are no signs that show the declination in the future of hosting companies.
The future of hosting is expected to be shaped by several trends, including:
Cloud hosting: Cloud hosting is likely to become even more popular in the future, as it offers greater scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional hosting solutions. With cloud hosting, businesses can easily scale their resources up or down as needed, without having to worry about hardware limitations.
Containerization: Containerization is the process of packaging an application or service into a container, which can then be deployed across different hosting environments. This technology is becoming increasingly popular due to its portability, efficiency, and ease of management.
Edge computing: Edge computing involves processing data at the edge of a network, closer to the source of data. This approach can help to reduce latency and improve the performance of applications and services. As more businesses adopt IoT and other data-intensive technologies, edge computing is likely to become more important.
