By webhostingreality.com - Since Google Inc. launched its Google App Engine which offers free hosting to source codes of web developers (for now Python language is being supported by Google), the webhosting industry has somewhat been shaken. What will happen to webhosting companies who don't have much cash and technological muscle to compete with Google? Will webhosting providers, fearing Google's invasion, shut down their offices?
I welcome Google to join the webhosting business. I believe Google is not a direct threat to smaller webhosting companies. In fact Google will transform the webhosting industry into a more respectable business.
Should Google offer full-blown webhosting service, webhosting providers will surely rethink how they run their business. I would expect that, with Google in the picture of the webhosting business, webhosts will strive harder to improve their support service to clients. If they won't improve, people will run to Google. (Yahoo did not improve its search engine, so people run to Google.)
The webhosting industry is too big for Google to handle. Webhosting is not just about technological capability. What clients want is a reliable website support, not a pre-written reply to tech problems (like that email you'd get from Microsoft support team).
The webhost that delivers an amazing support to its customers will win in the webhosting race with or without Google.
