Web hosting is at the core of putting websites in the world of the internet and world-wide-web. It is the fastest growing, most competitive, and exciting marketplace in the history of buying and selling. Its inception has created huge business potential online and has also allowed you to host your own website and earn thousands of dollars with just a few simple strategies.
But in order to enhance safety, security, reliability, and connectivity, new trends are introduced in web hosting every year. 2014 earned the reputation as ‘The Year of the Hack’ with a number of large organizations, including the US Postal Service, JP Morgan Chase, and Home Depot reporting simultaneous cyber attacks. This leaves most people asking one question: what are the latest web hosting trends for 2015 to ensure the same doesn’t happen again? Well, take a look below and find out:
New Generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs)
For those of you who don’t know what gTLDs are, let us enlighten you a bit. In simple words, a generic top-level domain is a category of top-level domains. It is maintained by IANA for use in the Domain Name System (DNS) of the world-wide-web. So, why are new gTLDs being introduced? Well, the answer is quite simple: to eliminate 22 domain extensions and “Web 2.0” names and introduce new domain name configurations for security and enhance the way how people search and browse online.
Privacy and Regulation Changes
Due to the huge increase of businesses turning to the internet to sell their products and services, new privacy regulations state it is now imperative for organizations to manage collection, storage and use of electronic protected health information (ePHI). New rights state severe fines will be placed on organizations that fail to encrypt ePHi.
Green Web Hosting
Green or Eco-Friendly website hosting is a contemporary addition. It ensures hosting solutions and providers do not have negative impacts on the environment. To promote eco-friendly websites numerous webmasters will be forced to move their websites to a green web hosting provider, not only to reduce their carbon footprint, but also to prove that the company cares for the environment.
New Cyber Security Tools and Software
Last year’s lack of security in web hosting resulted in an increase in criminals, activists, and terrorists who maliciously impact company operations and steal important information. Therefore, it is expected that this year we will see numerous security algorithms, tools and software, to prevent organizations from being caught by surprise. Additionally, organizations may also be advised to create and regularly test disaster recovery plans, to ensure all company data is safe and secure and accessible at all times.
All-in-One Website Hosting and Publishing Services
This year, we will also notice a lot of businesses using the services of Wix, Squarespace, and Weebly. This is mainly because websites like these offer all-in-one subscription packages which include both a hosting plan and website publishing software. Therefore, this will reduce the overall charges of starting a new website and domain registration services. Additionally, it will also help Google better rank numerous websites with its site ranking services.
If you have a website or plan or creation one, make sure to always study the latest news about web hosting and security trends, to ensure you comply with all rules and regulations. However, if you still face trouble, consider contacting Finestshops, which provides the best magento ecommerce hosting for startup businesses.
