Standalone Hosting to Die. Web Services to Drive Future. According to the Meta Group, " By 2004, standalone business-focused Web hosting companies will cease to exist. As hosting prices rise 20 percent to 25 percent in 2002 and 2003, a cross-functional team representing IT groups, lines of business, and procurement organizations will guide hosting purchase decisions. Web services will drive renewed interest in outsourced extranets in 2003 and 2004, achieving operational maturity by 2006.
"A fundamental understanding of Web services impacts on network infrastructure performance and capacity are being overlooked, setting the stage for yet another painful lesson to be relearned in much the same way enterprises and providers continue learning about application networkability."
