The web hosting industry is a very competitive enviroment. There are
many companies which have other hosting companies as their host. This is
called 'reselling'.
Hostcentric heavily depends of 'resellers' and dedicated server
managment customers, or 'gold' customers to generate income for them.
Gold customers will purchase web domain names and server space from
hostcentric and turn around and sell it to other small business.
Hostcentric does not do any type of outsourced coding for its
clients/customers. This can be somewhat difficult to explain to
customers as they sometimes expect the web hosting company to tell them
why their code does not work. Most of the time, it is due to custom code
that programmers use. The clients will hire programmers to perform some
contract work (for a small price), and will work well on their
development server, but our production servers may not have all of the
COM objects and other custom tags those programmers need to properly run
their pages. If Hostcentric where to bundle web page building and custom
coding with their hosting service, they could potentially expand its
source for income/revenue.
