This year in Latvia was closed 10500 websites

As explained by GARM Technologie manager Andrey Korzhanov, now in Latvia almost collected a dozen large companies ISPs hosting. But computer users, individuals and tiny SIA, dealing with placement and maintenance of sites - thousands. And with the deepening crisis, they become increasingly difficult. Many customers are beginning to save money on hosting. And this is alarming, because in most cases can save a penny - from five to 15 lats per month.

However, according to GARM Technologies CEO Max Korzhanoff, for large ISPs, and that those who have a heart for at least a thousand customers, the crisis - a time to "stones" - on the verge of closure of small firms. According to Mr.Korzhanoff, the company, assessing market conditions and new opportunities, revised development strategy and decided to acquire small hosting providers.

First, small hosting providers are faced with shortage of financial resources, which does not allow them to keep improving service and technical base. Secondly, it reduces the number of customers. Thus, since January this year, ceased to have 10,589 web sites. However, as reported by "Chas" in Institute of Mathematics and Informatics of Latvia, the new had more - if in the early years of active domain names there were 68 393, but now - 74 055. Administrator Institute Katrina Satake said the positive momentum is there, but the monthly statistics are very different, in March was a surge in registrations, but in May - a wave of failures. On average, each month, compared with last year, in the domain space lv registered more new names, however, and cease to exist too much longer.

According to Andrey Korzhanov, one of the crisis tendencies hosting - all the more firms that are engaged in trade and services, go to the "virtual space", asking the provider to create or alter the site under the e-shop. For example, in recent years on the Internet is prescribed more and more furniture companies. Although the rent for shops and cheaper, it still can not afford many of the manufacturers and dealers furniture.
