Large numbers of new Internet users in third-world countries are increasing the use of free Web hosting services. From 2005 to 2010, an estimated 700 million additional people will logon to the Internet for the first time, and many of them will be hosting Websites at free Web hosting services.
PR9.NET December 25, 2006 - Mechanicsville, Virginia – Free Web hosting will soon become a hot service once again, as inexpensive Internet access gains traction with hundreds of millions of additional users in 2007.
The Internet has arisen in recent years as a very socially-driven medium. As more people, especially from third-world countries, come online, free Web hosting offers a way for them to become connected with the rest of the world. "Free Web hosting services will once again fulfill a need that hasn't been this high since the dotcom bust," says Daniel J. Briere, CEO of FreewayWebhost, a free hosting provider. "With free hosting, people can express themselves in ways that services such as MySpace and Facebook don't have enough flexibility to allow." In India alone, ZDNet Research predicts that the total number of Internet users will rise from 38.5 million in 2005 to 100 million in 2007. The worldwide total number of Internet users is expected to rise from 1,081 million in 2005 to 1,781 million by 2010, according to eTForecasts.
Because of the high demand for free hosting, this segment of the Web hosting market has grown tremendously in the past year, and is expected to continue at roughly the same pace into the foreseeable future. Popular social networking sites are not adequately meeting the needs of new Internet users, and free hosting offers another option for personal expression.
