Hostingcon 2010
Posted by Tom C., VeriSign
Today we’re happy to present a field report from VeriSign’s Patty Fisher, who offers her reaction and opinions after attending Hostingcon 2010.
This week in Austin, TX hundreds of hosted services companies and technology infrastructure leaders gathered for Hostingcon 2010. The event delivers the newest insights and innovation to the hosting community, and this year the hottest topic was the Cloud.
The Cloud is expected to redefine the industry and open up new opportunities for technology and service providers alike. There was also lots of buzz around value added services and finding the next golden goose. From enterprise to end-consumer the time old questions, of how do you sell more and how do you build loyalty, still remain relevant. It was surprising to see very little on mobile and the impacts of an on-the-go society…maybe next year.
One of our top domain registrars, eNom, featured .tv at the event as an area of opportunity for their hosting resellers. Now more than ever is the right time for the reseller market to embrace .tv, with the fastest growing online audience is people posting and viewing videos online, and .tv is the preferred destination for web video. .tv is here to stay and will only get bigger as right now over 30% of Internet traffic is video, and is projected to be nearly 40% by the end of 2010. So exciting times are ahead for .tv as that number continues to expand.
