Web Hosting is a Falling Search Trend?

24 Dec, 2009 | Written by | under Web Hosting Interviews

According to Google Trends, the web site that helps watch trends for search results via Google, the phrase ?web hosting? has been in a steady decline since 2004.

You can see the chart for yourself here.

So what does this mean?? Well, a hundred different people could read into that data a hundred different ways.

Negative View – I would say the main reason why web hosting is down, is because social networks like MySpace and Facebook have kind of taking the place for some people of a standard web site.

Positive View ? People don?t search for ?web hosting? when looking for a place to start their web site.? doing a search for ?blog hosting? shows it has stayed steady since 2005.? People are looking for ways to host a particular type of site, rather than just general web hosting these days.? It is a much more niche market now.

As you can see, there are arguments to be made for either side on why web hosting is such a falling trend in Google searches. which way do you see it?
