Business Web Hosting Service Models

As some of you might know by now, we have a new full service web offering that clubs design, hosting and managing plan at WP Pro, the concept brings in everything you need to design, build and operate a professional web site, without dealing with multiple service providers. In order to do so, we looked at other business web hosting service providers for ideas and found McKremie to be the one that made the most sense for the scale and personal attention to detail we were comfortable offering.

Since one size does not always fit all, McKremie offer two common sense hosting plans. The Standard Plan is the “everyone plan” and with disk space of 5,000 MB and bandwidth of 1,000 GB it accommodates most websites out there. But for the more serious and advanced user, developer or reseller, they offer a Business Plan with disk space of 15,000 MB and bandwidth of 3,000 GB that allows our customers to get more of the resources and the optional dedicated IP. With McKremie, you can save 20 percent by paying one year up-front on both of the web hosting plans, making this model a win-win for both the host and the user.

After studying the McKremie strategy, we adopted a single plan strategy at WPPro and allow our users to control every part of their site if needed. Since we host the domains and perform the maintenance on servers are powered and partly managed by Media Temple (mt) we can ensure a worry free hosting platform with instantaneous capability to burst/increase resources.

The simple answer is no, however, Linux the open-source OS might get a huge push and even end up becoming the platform of choice rooting out competition like Windows and Palm. Although handset manufactures like LG, HTC, Motorola and Samsung, chip firms such as Qualcomm and mobile networks like T-Mobile and China Mobile have all showed interest in partnering with Google, none have made any specific commitment towards moving in that direction yet.

Google believes that Android powered phones will make the internet experience on a mobile “better than on a PC”, it acquired Android in 2005 specifically to tap the youth appeal for all things “wireless”, but one expert thinks the hype is just that, a poor PR move and nothing more. Don’t expect a phone powered by Android until mid-2008, so only time and patience can tell if it will take off, in the mean time, enjoy your iPhone.

Google Doesn’t Know How To Spend All Its Cash?

google Google Inc. is accumulating mounds of cash from operations, so how is it going to manage cashflows now?

At the Morgan Stanley Technology Conference, Eric Schmidt ruled out big mergers and acquisitions. Currently Google invests heavily in huge data centers and networks to expand the range and depth of its Web services. In 2006, Google purchased the most popular Video Sharing site YouTube for a whopping $1.65 billion. What’s left to invest in? If other big companies are going to Google, should Google bother to go to other companies? If yes, where?

Initially risks were taken and they paid off, now its time to retain the numbers that investors are clinging on to.
