If you are looking for web hosting with great support, consider Eleven2. Their outstanding level of support is not only for the clients, but also for affiliates.

I am one of Eleven2 affiliates, and a couple of weeks ago I have received an email by Brett Jordan, Eleven2 Affiliate Director about an offer that enable affiliates to request for custom banner design in any sizes, along with custom coupon codes to go with.

This is a great help for affiliates, as it’s already challenging enough to market a web hosting product. Creating custom size banners would add a marketing problem – a problem that has been eliminated by the Affiliate team – So, many thanks for that.

Here’s a custom-sized banner created for me to be placed on another web hosting site of mine, Web Hosting Estate:

Pretty cool, eh?

As of the coupon code – it is on progress, and I will let you know when the coupon code (exclusive!) is available for you guys!

Codero goes green with its electricity usage

Web host purchases 12,600 MWh of Green-e certified green power for all its operations

OVERLAND PARK, KS (Nov 24, 2009) – Codero, a dedicated and managed hosting provider, is going green with its electricity usage. The company has purchased green power through renewable energy credits for its two data centers located in Phoenix, AZ and San Diego, CA, as well as its headquarters location in Overland Park, KS.

Codero purchased 12,600 MWh of Green-e certified renewable green power to meet 100% of annual electricity needs for its entire operations from Ecoelectrons Renewable Energy, a company specializing in supplying green power to corporations through renewable energy credits.

“Greening our dedicated server and managed hosting operations is not only good for the environment, it’s good for our customers, too”, says Phil Spencer, CEO of Codero. “Our Green with Codero Initiative signifies our commitment to making smarter energy choices and allows our customers to move their businesses in a more environmentally-sustainable direction.”

As a member of Green-e Energy’s Marketplace program, Codero can display the Green-e logo on its company website and other communication materials to help customers identify the services delivered with certified renewable energy. The credits purchased by Codero were certified by Green-e Energy, the leading renewable energy certification program in the U.S. Green-e provides independent, third-party certification to ensure renewable energy meets strict environmental and consumer protection standards. Codero will also join the prestigious Green Power Partnership – a voluntary program that offers organizations purchasing green power expert advice and technical support. It is managed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

“We are very pleased that Codero has purchased green power,” said Rahul Chitrapu, Chief Executive of Ecoelectrons. “Codero’s commitment not only inspires new online wind-energy generation but is testament to the environmental ethos that runs within the company. People today want companies to act in a socially responsible manner, and the purchase of green power is a simple and effective step.”

Codero joins a growing list of companies and organizations that are taking real action to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from their energy use. Electricity generated from renewable sources results in less environmental waste and pollution, and displaces other non-renewable sources from the electric grid. Currently, renewable energy accounts for only about two percent of total electricity generation nationwide. Codero’s purchase of electricity generated from nearly emissions-free renewable sources avoids carbon dioxide and other pollutants and serves to build the market for renewable energy nationwide, while increasing incentives for building new facilities.

What does the future of web hosting look like? Taking a look at what’s on the public’s collective mind by viewing search trends might give you some insight.

According to Google Trends, the website that helps watch trends for search results via Google, when we looked at three popular hosting search terms we got 3 different stories.

WordPress Hosting

The search for phrase “wordpress hosting” has been steadily increasing since the inception of WordPress around 2006.

Blog Hosting Trend

The search demand for “blog hosting” has been relatively steady since 2004.

Web Hosting Trend

“web hosting” has been in decline since its peak in 2004.

What can we learn from these three graphs?

The Value of Keywords are Dynamic
Keywords are king but they are also dynamic, people don’t search for the generic “web hosting” term as much as they used to when looking for a place to start their web site. Can we thus conclude the term web hosting is not as valuable as it once used to be?

Doing a search for “blog hosting” shows it has stayed steady since 2005. People are more savvy with discerning tastes and are looking for ways to host a particular type of site, a blog, a wordpress blog, a forum, a game site, rather than a general “web site” which would lead to web hosting.

As with most every other industry, the web hosting industry is evolving into niche markets with blog hosting, forum hosting, game hosting, green hosting, managed hosting etc ….. Platform based searches are taking away the search market share too, is it a blogger blog, a typepad blog, or wordpress blog for which you require hosting?

What story do these graphs tell you? and what do you think is in the future for “web hosting”, is it a dying breed?
