There are various web hosting companies which are running successfully. These companies offer hosting packages at competitive prices. The main reason for their success is their ability to attract the multitudes of new domain users or the ability to make customers want to move from one service provider to another. Many strategies are being used by these companies to grab a share of the market.
These tactics are not only related to promotion of their features but also involves the issue of pricing. Indeed competition on the basis of features would be a tough call as most companies these days offer almost all the latest features (high disk space and bandwidth, PHP script, MYSQL databases etc) and latest technologies (Parallel server cluster, Cent OS, Apache Servers). So the focus of competitive activities is in the issue of right pricing! Right pricing means that the price should be set at optimum level to maximize consumer demand for the product. It shouldn’t be too high to scare customer and it shouldn’t be lower than the cost incurred and minimum profit margins.
In their competition to attract more and more customers companies have started offering customer hosting offers at less than $3 mark. But the companies have realized that just offering the web hosting services at less than their competitor’s price isn’t enough to attract new comers. To boost the sales number to a high, the companies come up with various offers and coupons which may be offered periodically (like occurring every season) or sporadically (like to mark some special event). This strategy is particularly effective in convincing the customers to buy that web hosting service (if they think that a particular company offers more discounts than its competition). To make it even more convincing, the consumers need to be told about the day when the offer terminates; causing a further increase in the web hosting services immediately. Thus these offers from web hosting companies are beneficial for both the web hosting company and the consumers.
