BlueHost plans to take 1 million GoDaddy customers

Matt Heaton, President of Bluehost recently reported the company's rapid growth and also made some interesting predictions for the future...

"We have just passed the 700,000 domains hosted for our organization. This includes Bluehost, Hostmonster, and Fastdomain. We are now in the top 2, if not number one, fastest growing shared hosting company in the world. We will very soon be hosting more than 1,000,000 domains."

These figures represent a 33 percent increase since September of 2007.

Heaton then went on to write:

"We will begin aggressively promoting individual domain name sales, especially through our fastdomain brand. We want to put the HURT on Godaddy. Godaddy’s incessant obstacles to transferring domains and extremely poor customer service will allow us to take a TON of their customers. My personal goal is to take more than 1 million of their customers in the next 24 months - Keep watching! I will make it happen!!"

This will be interesting to watch. Other plans include the introduction of VPS hosting.

Rapid Growth - I guess that would explain why their servers have been going down so much over the past few months.

I have been hearing a lot of twitter from all over about sites and email going down.
