The top 3 problems affecting 90% of the shared hosting industry
In an interview, we talked with Boyan Ivanov, CEO of StorPool Storage, what hosting providers usually share with him as business and technical issues they need to fight:
- reliability of the service
- how to increase the profit margins
- how to differentiate the service from competitors
Can the software-defined storage resolve these problems?
By using technology, you can improve the shared hosting service. And storage is a big part of the technology behind hosting.
The hosting market is not homogenous. It is different to sell in Europe and USA. And each geographic location has its own specifics. Moreover, all customers are different. Some of them are caring only for the price, while others want the fastest speed and highest quality. In this situation, as a hosting provider, you have lots of challenges. If your customers are fans of the lowest possible monthly fee, there is not much that you can do. But if you want to optimize the speed and uptime, storage can do a lot.
