(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — In one of the quick afternoon sessions at Thursday’s World Hosting Days Local in Paris, Christoph Donnemiller of PartnerGate (www.partnergate.com) attempted to give hosting providers a few new ideas on how domains can be a source of new revenue.

Like several of the afternoon’s other presenters, Networking4all b.v. and Smart-NIC, PartnerGate is a domain management service designed for hosting providers.

PartnerGate, he says, is a business that is designed to support your business. The company’s approach is to talk to new partners in order to better understand their needs – adding a reseller element of their own, for instance.

(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — One of the short afternoon sessions at Thursday’s WHD Local event in Paris was delivered by Joachim Antonsen of ePages (www.epages.com), who set out to offer some of ePages’ insight as a leader in the European market for hosted storefronts, in helping hosts understand the success factors in the market.

The first, and possibly the most significant, point he made was that the market for hosted storefronts among small business customers in Europe is wide open. Among European SMBs and SOHOs, only 60 percent have a website, let alone an online store. Only 13 percent of European SMBs sell their products online.

The opportunity there to provide those companies with a simple service for creating a web-based storefront is huge. For ePages, the plan is to provide hosting providers with the means to support those customers in precisely that way.

(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — One of the brief morning sessions at WHD Local in Paris Thursday was delivered by Roland Sars of Backup Agent, who offered some insight into the opportunity for hosting providers in the cloud backup space.

Simply put, he says, the opportunity is that SMBs are struggling to make backups of their data, with about 15 percent of them making adequate daily backups of their data. The other 85 percent are looking for a good backup solution with a lot of flexibility and not much up-front investment.

Service providers want to add new services, generate new revenue and strengthen the bonds with their customers.
