Which Web Hosting Trends Changed the Industry the Most in 2015?

📅 December 25, 2015 - Web hosting trends come and go but it's a good time to look back at which ones really made an impact for 2015. With the New Year around the corner, new trends are bound take effect in 2016, but it's hard to top some of the ones that were only seen in 2015.

Web hosting is so important to running your website or business just like a home relies on its plumbing system to be great. Whether you've heard of these trends or you didn't know about them yet, here is a look at which trends in the web hosting world made a huge impact on the industry from 2015.

Niche Hosting

Have you heard of the trend of niche hosting? The days of general hosting are over and in are the days of business-specific hosting providers. Most people are used to web hosting providers treating them as a one-size-fits-all approach to the businesses they helped, but not anymore. Some people appreciate the old method to treating it like a jack of all trades, but others feel the specialized experience is better suited for their business.

You'll love the niche hosting options where they specialize in the elements that matter most to you. Choose a hosting provider that focuses on the blogger, the one that specializes in data security or threat protection, or the ones that offer remote applications. Rather than choosing the web hosting that appeals to everyone, you can go with one that gets that your business is unique and needs certain needs met.

Affordability

You may not have realized that affordability is actually a trend this year. It's become the new norm in which web hosting providers want to provide their services at a lower cost. Low-cost web hosting has become a huge trend this year with competitive prices across the board. You no longer have to price compare when you choose a hosting provider and it also means that more people find their hosting access within reach.

Unlimited options

You may find it hard to believe, but it's now becoming a trend to offer unlimited space, storage, and otherwise to those purchasing web hosting. That means you aren't worried about limited and expensive email capacity, data transfers, and disk space anymore. Now you can look at your web hosting as something that will truly be able to meet your needs rather than to compare who will give you the most for your money.

All-in-one

Another great trend from 2015 is the all-in-one mindset of many hosting providers. It's no long just a hard drive for your website; now you can enjoy the all-in-one packages where you'll get your domain name, web design, and site building from your web hosting service. This is nice for those that don't want to shop around the internet for each individual service need.

Lastly, 2015 was a trend for more options for your web hosting. Unexpected companies have joined the game, such as Amazon who were once known for just being a bookstore and have grown to a web service branch worth $5 billion. Many other big players are joining the game making it easy for those searching for a service provider to have a ton of companies to choose from.

2015 brought some exciting new industry trends that made a huge impact and are here to stay. Going forward, people can expect to be offered more unlimited packages, more hosting companies to choose from, a web hosting package that comes with many other extras, web hosting that is more specific to their business and all at affordable prices. It will be exciting to see how 2016 tops that!
