Over the past decade, home Internet connections have become substantially faster and many websites have found themselves delivering larger and larger files to visitors. The average website file size and amount downloaded by visitors have increased, but has your host ever raised its bandwidth and storage limits?

Most hosts have kept up with the times and raised their limits to stay in line with current Internet trends. There are still hosts out there offering 1999 features today in 2009– 20 MB of storage instead of 2 GB, or 500 MB of bandwidth instead of 50 GB.

Just as salaries and prices rise in response to inflation, so should web host features. Bandwidth and storage has become much cheaper over the years and requirements have increased. If your provider hasn’t passed the savings on to you and won’t keep up with the times, perhaps its time to jump ship and find a new one?

A report on advertising spending conducted by the Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB) and PricewaterhouseCoopers shows that UK advertisers have spent more money on Internet advertising so far this year than on television adverts.

In all, the web accounts for 23.5% of advertising expenditure, or £1.75 billion. Still a dominant power, TV made up 21.9% of spending.

This is important to domainers because it shows that companies and marketing firms value the Internet just as much as any other communications medium. Thus they are more likely to understand the value of a premium domain. Because of increased advertisement spending, website owners stand to make more from PPC ads.
