Service Provider Hosting Is Possible

The simple concept of hosted services, already known and widely used for enterprise environments for quite some time, represents the perfect solution for a great number of small and medium sized companies that require a safe and reasonably priced platform. Applying the same concept at a higher level could result in Hosting and Service Providers leasing or renting virtual real-estate for the services they provide in order to lower their initial investments or subsequent upgrade costs.


Hosted hosting could bring the advantages that hosted services usually create for enterprises to SPs’ own tier and optimize their resource usage to the maximum extent possible. This also goes to prove there is a need for a new breed of hosting services, especially aimed at large SPs requiring large storage and server farms. Moreover, hosted hosting would improve the overall service quality since those companies hosting Service Providers would only have to manage the platform, leaving the service to the provider.

This increase in quality will very much appeal to the customer or subscriber base, as no one can ever turn down a better deal for the same price. What’s more important, even services on offer could get a lot cheaper as the SP would only pay a fraction of the cost each month and only for the resources it requires, changing its subscription plan based on the usage rates of its services.
