A few problems in China web hosting market
Feb 9, 2009
With the biggest population and the growing economy, China is considered the biggest markets in the world (if not ye, it will be). Everyone would like to take a share in the market, but there are so many things in china are different with international standards, hosting business is one of the things.
In China, many hosting companies are not running with the same operating system with their oversea competitors. Basically, the problems are
1. Technical support, most supports are at very low level and only few of the companies provide 24X7 service.
2. payment methods, credit card payments are usually not supported. Instead, direct deposit or alipay (a Chinese online payment transaction company) are widely used.
