www.hostpulse.com Europe Best Web Hosting Company 2006 According to research agency Datamonitor, the European hosting market will be worth $7.4 billion by 2004. Some of the relatively late entrants are telcos that are trying to catch up with specialist hosting companies. And as data center with hosting servers that customers use become ever more critical to business operations, the cost of that downtime is escalating. Assuming, somewhat positively, that a typical network connection is up and running for 99% of the time, the average amount of working time lost by webmasters or companies every month through network downtime is three hours. According to a recent Merit Advisory Council survey of 1,800 IT professionals, the average cost per company of each hour of network downtime is $100,000, which means at least $300,000 a month is regularly squandered. For many large companies, the cost per year can be calculated in millions of dollars. When it is the management that can have the greatest influence on how an organization overcomes the revenue impact when networks connections or hosting servers fail to function, HostPulse decides to investigate the late entrants and the experienced providers that have been the driving force of the hosting market in Europe. As European companies are faced with numerous choices when it comes to resources for hosting services, HostPulse decides to help online users find suitable and reliable web hosting services. In the search for the recipient of the Europe Best Web Hosting Company Award, we look at the companies in our database and we profiled some of the European hosting providers based on certain criteria including infrastructure that is capable of supporting and enabling business objectives, support for multiple domains and several databases or business processes and the consistent levels of customer service in the continent of Europe.
