To ensure your web hosting business is successful and competitive, it is important to remain abreast of the latest industry news.  This week the new from The Whir is filled with holiday offerings and web hosting positioning their products as gifts.

At the beginning of the week, Netfirms decided to offer a holiday promotion for new customers that will go on until December 27.  Customers who sign up for the Business Plan will get $60 off a yearly subscription with 300 GB disk space, 3,000 GB of bandwidth, five domain names, 1,000 email accounts and unlimited websites hosted on one account.

Another holiday promotion was announced by SuperbHosting.  Customers who sign up for a hosting package between December 1 and December 21 are eligible to win a Nintendo Wii game system.

SiteGround is distributing gift certificates to its customers again for a $20 discount on hosting services and customers are giving them to friends or away at their websites.  A similar promotion is being run by HostMySite, who is giving customers purchasing an annual hosting plan a gift card from a popular retailer in an amount ranging from $10 to $25, based on the plan selected.  The company also extended the November Double Your Processing Power promotion.

FastNext is running a holiday promotion for both new and existing customers until January 7 and is giving six months free hosting to customers who sign up for a shared hosting plan.  Customers sining up for a reseller package receive one month of free hosting.  Both new and existing customers will get new software.

With all the web hosting companies offering holiday promotions, clearly web hosting is becoming an increasing popular gift for Christmas.  Running a holiday promotion for new and existing customers today can mean serious profits in the new year.
