Eircom Starts Direct Marketing Domains And Hosting

It seems that Eircom has finally put two and two together. It is now advertising its domains and hosting services to its mailing lists. The prices are a bit unrealistic though. At least Eircom is treading water in the hosting business. Esat has been sinking rapidly over the last few years. Eircom lost its dominant position in the Irish hosting business a few years ago. Perhaps it got complacent. Maybe the management just didn’t have a clue how rapidly the market was changing. By the time they copped on, the market had left them well behind and Hosting365.ie emerged as the largest Irish hoster. Given the extent to which the market has changed, the only way back to the top for Eircom would be to buy one of the larger second generation Irish hosters. Even then the quality of the management would be critical.
