Increasing Internet penetration is the key factor driving the growth of the market. Web hosting services are important for those looking to launch an online presence and share content with a global audience. Increased internet penetration has allowed businesses to reach a wider customer base through online channels. As businesses expand their online presence with websites, e-commerce platforms, and web applications, they need reliable web hosting services to ensure their online properties can be accessed and function normally.
Moreover, the popularity of smartphones and mobile devices has played a key role in increasing internet penetration. As more and more people access the Internet through their mobile devices, web hosting services must adapt to serve a mobile audience. Mobile-friendly websites and responsive designs have become a necessity, leading to a demand for mobile-optimized hosting solutions. Hence, these factors are expected to drive the growth of the global web hosting market during the forecast period.
An increase in the adoption of managed hosting services is the primary trend in the market. Businesses are increasingly choosing managed hosting solutions for a variety of reasons. Managed hosting permits businesses to focus on their core competencies and strategic goals. By outsourcing infrastructure management and technical aspects of hosting to a managed service provider (MSP), businesses can reduce the tedious tasks of administration, maintenance, management, and troubleshooting servers.
Furthermore, managed hosting services typically provide scalability and flexibility to adapt to changing business needs. As a business grows or experiences traffic spikes, the hosting infrastructure can easily scale to meet raised demand. Managed hosting providers can quickly provision additional resources, such as CPU, RAM, and storage to ensure optimal performance and user experience. These factors are expected to drive the growth of the global web hosting market during the forecast period.
Website server downtime is a challenge that affects the growth of the market. Website server downtime is a significant challenge for businesses because most of a company's core business operations are managed through the cloud. Slow access to the website results in the website server being unavailable. The main server downtime issues affecting businesses are slow access to websites, cyber-attacks, website traffic overload, hardware or software failures, and server outages.
Furthermore, e-commerce businesses see heavy online traffic on their websites during festivals and online sales, so they need high availability for their websites. Web server downtime during these events damages a business's SEO model and negatively impacts search engine rankings, leading to high revenue losses for the business. Thus, such factors are expected to create a challenge to the growth of the global web hosting market during the forecast period.
The market share growth by the shared hosting segment will be significant during the forecast period. Shared hosting refers to hosting multiple websites from multiple companies on a single web server connected to the Internet. Shared hosting offers a standard web server framework, including additional custom domain options, web statistics support, email services, website building tools, and the availability of web hosting tools. tools such as PHP, structured query language (SQL), and automation scripting languages.

The shared hosting segment showed a gradual increase in the market share of USD 25.37 billion in 2017. Cloud computing is growing alongside technological advances, opening up potential opportunities for businesses to reduce IT infrastructure costs by migrating to a cloud environment. The shared hosting segment is growing due to the increased migration of small and medium-sized businesses to the cloud, increased creation of startups, and growth in the e-commerce market. Small and medium-sized businesses are increasingly adopting shared hosting services. Hence, these factors are expected to propel the growth of the shared hosting segment of the global web hosting market during the forecast period.
The public segment refers to the deployment of web hosting services on shared infrastructure, where multiple users and websites share the same server resources. Public hosting services often provide scalability, allowing users to upgrade hosting plans or allocate additional resources as their website or application grows. Public hosting is popular with individuals, small businesses, and startups because of its affordability, ease of use, and scalability. It allows users to quickly establish an online presence without requiring significant initial investments in infrastructure or technical expertise. Hence, such factors are expected to propel the growth of the public hosting segment in the global web hosting market during the forecast period.
