cheaper
Lots of Deadpools..
GreenValueHost 5.0
I'd like to see more VMWare/XenServer offers if I'm truly honest.
Creative market research David.
That Nguyen guy will make it one day to Hollywood.
I thought we were past GVH 5.0 and up to around 8.0
I expect nothing, not anymore :P
drama
Free pocket lamps.
In the past, some customers received USB key, Pen, Mouse Pad, other goodies :P
However, never get any feedback or comeback at all, so we didn't re-do the experiment.

Even though that is very nice of you - The mistake is obvious: No pocket lamps in your list. ;-)
@Amitz
I agree. My biggest error! Shame on me
actually it was nygyenwebservices 1.0
Needs a shorter name,
In future I hope with the $1 a year vps I buy from the host, the host will be more thankful and send a few ounces of 24k gold bars to me as well as the usual 24/7 support even if there is a nuclear war going on, and also to support/install things that take hours. oh and free cpanel with the $1 year vps and ummm not sure what else.
next thing I want is service like scaleway with paypal and more cheaper dedis
The next big thing that there wont be a need for hosting companies, people will be able to even install web server on their phones.
Instances of power 8 at an affordable price and be able to run x86 apps (with it with free incoming bw )
Leaves the pipe dream lol
I did run Apache on a Nokia N800 (Maemo) and i'm pretty sure i had a webserver on a first generation iPhone also - that were times
Haha that's impressive!
I assume you were bored that day.
"Scam"
Every VPS provider I have been with I switched from because the service stopped working properly.
From the VPS market in the next few years I expect someone to figure out how to deliver a product that actually works.
I'm not expecting major market shifts over the next year or so. I think the market is going to coast for a good bit more as-is. Little changes will happen, nothing that's going to unseat any big players.
Maybe we'll see a little more of things like tutum or bitnami that add flavor to what already exists. We'll see a couple more cloud providers pop up.
Dedis will continue to surge in popularity around these parts, ARM will stay primarily OVH/scaleway, won't see any significant new players in it for a while (if really ever).
That's my boring predictions
WHAT? I LOVE MY LITTLE DNS USB . I use it day to day haha I actually back my VMs up to it haha. And my pen is somewhere on my desk. Used it yesterday the only one that hasn't broke yet.
More IPv6+Nat IPv4 offers.
More kids pretending they are running multinationals.
Prison time for anyone involved with GVH and co.
A major security breach at one or more providers due to neglecting to patch a bug in virtualisation technology X.
A mass shift away from virtualisation tech X to tech Y, until the same happens there.
IP prices forcing up low end prices.
Followed by IP prices forcing hosts out of business.
That will be glorious times, we'll see
