The Realities of A Web Hosting Based Business
It never ceases to amaze me at how quickly technology marches on. I’ve worked with computers for my entire professional career spanning some twenty five years. I’ve been around computers even longer, if you start counting from the first day my father brought home a TRS-80 by Radio Shack, and I proceeded to teach my self Basic programming. Still, like a rolling stone tumbling down an unending hill, the sum of all technology just keeps getting bigger and bigger, while moving faster and faster, with no end in site. No where is that advancement so visible than in the world of the internet. Some may argue that mobile computing is the leader here, but I would suggest that mobile computing is really just piggy backing on that juggernaut that is the internet.
I certainly don’t claim to be a programming guru, but I have worked extensively with a dozen or so computer languages, and probably more like thirty, if you count infrequent uses of some of those on the periphery of my skill set. But, when it comes to the internet, I feel like a babe in the woods. Sure, I’m pretty good with PHP and HTML, but my CSS, Javascript, Ruby, and Ajax skills leave much to be desired. I pretty good at supporting web hosting servers in a general sense, but get into Coldfusion hosting, or something a little more niche specific, and I’m just a little lost.
Not that there’s much need to do your own web hosting these days. There so much cheap web hosting readily available, you’d have to be a little crazy not to devote your time to the core areas of your business. I did my dabbling with that stuff years ago, and now outsource it as much as possible. That’s not to suggest, that I’m not intrigued by the latest developments in the area though. I do believe, that I will always be working in technology or the internet in some fashion or another. What I do know for sure, is that how I’m doing, and what I’m doing now in my web based businesses will most certainly be different a few years from now. That may sound scary to some, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love change for the sake of change. Of course if I can find a suitable business model to support that change and make a few bucks along the way, then I’m even happier.
