Websites Disappears but Webhosters Profit

Tweet

There has been a surge in new websites for the past year since I've been online a lot and not only that the domain names and lure of profits has got the whole web kingdom shaken on web 2.0. Pod casts, search engine optimization, particularly Google with advertising has shifted a lot too. It makes me think. Geez those webhosters sure are making a killing with all these domain names and hosting. GoDaddy last year was just a name thrown around and who would have known that it'll make it to be a sponsor commercially. I saw it's big banner in one of the stadiums for a baseball game on television and I said to myself, 'Hmmm looks familiar'. By golly it is! I've heard of it before online. Then I was just going through my old e-mails cause I like to clear out the cobwebs and keep some gems and found many creative ideas that just came and went. They were mostly marketing tactics. I subscribed to a lot of them and this was only a couple of months ago but building a list seems to be very important then as it is now. Now I visit the page and it's ... gone. Poof. If hosting is that cheap, those guys are probably not banking on traffic because bandwidth isn't. It's the list and once they've got enough they ready to shut down and move on. Kind of like renting.
