Yup, the bigger the infrastructure, the bigger the chillers you need

Pointless willy waving, choose a host that you feel comfortable with and suits your needs.

On the story, It’s good news and fair play to the Digiweb team, I used to work there and the Hosting setup is pretty sweet

Size is a factor (mainly in the investment you can make in staff, systems, infra, etc) which is why we are the only host in Ireland that offers real, manned 24/7 support by email and livechat.

Is size the most important thing? Maybe not.

I like the way you can email Blacknight at three in the morning and curse them for technical glitches. They don’t seem to mind, and they even write back soothing messages saying nice things to a drunken madman. Very civilised.

Which “other” wireless company? The one built with countless dubs toll money, or the one built with the profits from the sale of a US mobile network? Admittedly, that second one hasn’t got much in the way of coverage…

My money’s on whatever company provides most up time, best online help and easy to follow guides for even the most basic of novices. The market is saturated with offers, sites and – to the inexperienced – somewhat bewildering options – ruby, linux, windows, shared, dedicated, secure etc and people have already moved away in droves from the “consultants” charging 3k and more for sites. Any company that empowers people to get online easily – and while it’s easy enough now it could be even easier – and shows it’s an expert in helping people, in providing the best options and in supporting the businesses, events, bloggers and campaigns that make them worth talking about is going to clean up.

Yep H365 is still the biggest and there is still a large gap between Digiweb/Novara and H365. There’s also Blacknight to consider. The hosting business just got a lot more interesting.

Yes, 365 are still the largest – even post merge, by nearly a factor of 3.
