WEB HOST VENDORS
The vey first Web hosting vendors were (ISPs) Internet Service Poviders that provided Internet access, and they found low-hanging fruit when it came to harvesting customers from among the dot-com startups.
Shortage of qualified staff was another reason companies outsourced their hosting. If you were a system administrator in 1997, it was a lot more fun (and you got a lot more respect) running hundreds of Web sites for a hosting vendor, than having to cover 24x7 for one site all by yourself.
For five years, the dominant customer requirement was for performance, and everyone sought the Web hosting vendor that could deliver content the fastest. The Internet's infrastructure wasn't keeping pace with demand, and most customers looked to their Web hosting services to provide a competitive advantage through faster content delivery.
Today Web Host Vendors include control panel vendors like SWsoft, cPanel, Helm and others that are vendors the small, medium and large web hosts.
