Just thoughts I would touch upon the issue of local or remote web hosting. Of course I’m not talking in technical terms, but geographical. Local being in the same country, state or region and remote being in freaking Never land. No, but on a more serious note there are few good reasons why you should not choose hosting closer to where you live, rather than far away. No different language, no different culture, no different time zones. Those are three basic reasons why youshould think domestic.

Additionally to these rock solid facts, the chances are you haven’t even bothered to check the offers in your own neighboorhood due to what I like to call Bling blindness. Of course the risk exsists that you won’t get the cheapest price in your own country but try to think like this: You Get What YouPay For. If you pay an extra couple of dollars a month you’ll not only get what you pay for, but the absense of our recently mentioned 3 facts. Think about it at least :-)

This is an issue we have chosen to address, not only here on the blog but in our geographical toplists. You can find your country and web hosting type listed according to price, service and quality. Start by selecting hosting type in the top tabs in the index page.

This competition hierarchie is not at all uncommon and perhaps even the only alternative for any industry today. But the reason for this consumer concetration can also be due to consumer habbits. Of course, the best product or service will get the most attentions and companies like Coca-Cola, YouTube and Wal-Mart indeed deliver more enhanced products that their competitors. But sometimes the line between market leader and second best is thin, almost impossible to see. The online business, to me, seems full of such examples and I can’t help but think that consumer loyalty and straight layzeness is the cause why so many sites have the monopoly in their niche.

If we would only bother to google a bit more for alternative e.g video hosts and communities YouTube and Facebook wouldn’t be able to take their domination for granted. Or maybe we need to encourage more people to start own video hosts and online platforms. Maybe then there wouldn’t only be 1 site in monopoly for each market.

They search, they’ve always search and the question remains, will they always search? My instict tells me that yes they, or we, will always primirily search to find websites and navigate through the web. Internet is and always will be  too big for anything else.  But perhaps  social bookmarking will accelarate and gain greater part of people user-patterns in the future? Or will we simply go directly to wikipedia when we want to know something?

Has Google reached its peak or will it remain untouchable for yet another decenium? What is your thoughts?
