Frustrating is not quite word to use to describe situation. But truth of matter is that this is exactly situation with many web-hosting services. Ridiculously, even as web sites have rapidly developed to incorporate very latest state-of-the-art technology in all aspects including areas like billing and marketing, back bone of web site management, namely web hosting has mainly remained in stone age.

Web hosts have been mostly small one-man operations run as a hobby from some basement somewhere on a part time basis. Although this is changing as more and more serious ecommerce web sites emerge. However, it has not been changing quite fast enough.

Many times this is blamed on various factors. An excuse is easy to find in a huge place like net. And yet more often than not, culprit may be much closer than a frustrated web site owner may think. Just like in a good murder-whodunit-mystery it could easily be last person anybody would think of. And that is Web hosting company.

So many things can go wrong with a web hosting site that will tend to impact on efficiency of sites operated by that particular host.

For example many people may not know that Hosting Companies quite often get tempted into overselling. Meaning that they end up with many more accounts than what they can realistically handle and support. The immediate result is that sites supported by such hosts end up being extremely slow.

Visitors clicking in find that they have to wait for ages for anything to open. Such a site also becomes fairly unreliable and can be down more often than it is up.

Would it be any surprise in such a situation that advertising and promotional efforts hardly bring in visitors?

Speed is one key aspect that netpreneurs need to keep very much in mind.
