When Hosting Matters
What matters most in a domain that becomes a website? To a domainer it is easy to state the most important criteria when building a website. The hosting company. Because without the juice, the bandwidth, the psychic and electromagnetic energy driving those page rendering and HTML pages, the viewer has nothing. Without robust hosting, the website disappears. Literally.
Today I watched the finale to LOST on ABC TV. The series finale. That is, I tried to. Six years of mystery enveloped in a solution of two and half hours of television. But ABC must be low on cash, because the streaming LOST video kept stalling. The picture froze a lot. I spent six hours watching about twenty five minutes of fractured “LOST” video. The timelines and independent start sequence operability was nil. I have watched about half of it. By 3 p.m. I gave up.
This stalling and lack of prompt online response is what will fuel a thousand or more rogue LOST video streaming sites for one of the most rewatchable and searchable video episode of television for all time. Any domainer with a video hosting capable hosting account and the ability to embed YouTube or other video format sequences that has a LOST or TV related website up that will snare thousands of page views hourly from around the world.
Many hosting company service levels fluctuate from month to month year to year. But video content is one of the most watchable and linkable data bits a webmaster can add to their blog or website. Video content from “Lost” will be attracting viewers and researchers from search engines around the world for months and years to come. Happy “Lost” domainers will be seeing monster Adsense reports very shortly.
First to market gets the gold. This is still true online. But when faster is measured in milliseconds, hosting speed counts. The entrepreneurs are the ones making fan videos and splicing the video scenes into easily watchable and loadable LOST snippets. Those who invested in ‘Lost” names are reaping huge traffic rewards right about now. Their minimal site design and density of keywords is hitting the best market of LOST fans now than will ever be present anywhere.
The TV and film entertainment scene is a constantly changing domain market. For domainers who have no hosting accounts or less than robust hosting support, their domain related website development looks grim. When a website has that much resistance to loading, Houston, we have a very big problem. And it’s not just “Lost“. It’s the Desperate Housewives and Grey’s Anatomy shows as well. ABC should be known as a tech company and a brand that can get ‘er done.
Not.
I must have seen the “hosted with limited commercials” message about a hundred times. What it should have said was “Shown with limited hosting and best speed to commercials.” A reasonable person might ask, why make a site where video will be hosted that is being shown on the network broadcasting source of that show? The above comments tell the tale. The originating network isn’t interested in supporting the video, just hosting enough bandwidth to load commercials.
Enter the domainer.
Soon the network will move its rotation of live LOST episodes to the back burner, to sell them on DVD. Then the DVD LOST extras market and video clips sites will heat up. Youtube and the other streaming sites will enjoy that bump in traffic and searchability as well.
That’s the long game of domain site hosting, keeping relative content up with search friendly discoverability for years. When these sites are stacked up inside one hosting account, the profits total real money. Connecting the domains and cutting together the clips makes a film or TV themed website grow. And the visitor fanbase will always have something to say.
Thank you for this very nice post, I was searching this very same topic for a research paper for school and I am so glad I found this, It has helped me so much.
I believe when you need a dictionary to read the first paragraph of a blog post, you really wouldn’t want to continue, especially when you’re in a rush.
Lindelof and Cuse should be embarrassed. They pandered to our basest emotions and gave us an absolutely hollow piece of religious allegory in place of an actual story.
