The Hottest Hosts choose the United Kingdom
The United Kingdom has undoubtedly become one of the biggest beneficiaries of the recent European hosting boom. Just about every North American hosting company that chooses to open a European subsidiary chooses London as a location for at least one of their European offices. Some of the hottest hosts that have established offices in Europe include: Verio, NetNation and Rackspace three very big players in the hosting industry.
Contrary to popular belief, however, England is not the UK's only high-tech hotbed. Look a bit closer, and you'll notice that Ireland is quickly moving to the forefront as well. According to Colocation Magazine, Dublin's tech sector has caught fire. "The year of the new millennium has seen Dublin experiencing something of a unique boom in the construction and development of co-location and hosting centers across Dublin," the magazine writes. The magazine attributes a significant portion of the country's growth to a recent surge in bandwidth capacity; according to a recent article, 360 Networks, Global Crossing, GTS and BT Farland have all okayed fibre pipelines in to Dublin in the near future. And with demand currently outpacing supply across Europe, bandwidth is an extremely valuable commodity.
