Real Figures For The Irish Hosting Business - April 2005

The April figures for the Irish hosting business show a market in the process of consolidation. That consolidation is happening at the expense of the smaller hosters and the ISPs. Esat’s and Netsource’s share of the market is continuing to fall. Sometimes you’ve got to wonder if the management of these companies realise their perilous position in the Irish hosting business. The Tier 2 hosters are continuing to grow and Hosting365’s dedicated hosting side, Rack365 was the biggest winner this month. It picked up a few hundred hostel related domains when a Gibraltar based hostel company moved its domains to Rack365.

  • Tier 1 24 – 25152 27.11% Traditional Early Market Hosters (ISPs)
