Crazy question: can you believe that stores are gearing up for back-to-school drives? That means that summer is almost half over and in about 30 to 40 days, students will return to their educational pursuits. However I believe with the ubiquitous internet, students today never stop learning. They no longer take a summer hiatus because they are constantly connected to news, games, and friends via their telephones, computers and even their Wii or Playstation video games.

What does this have to do with webhosting plans? Plenty! I was reading a study recently about students that will enter college in 2010. According to the Beloit College Student Mindset List, those entering college this summer have never known a world without the internet. When the real world was too much, these students have always had the opportunity to retreat into a virtual world.

That tells me that businesses have to be online. Schools should be online. Friends will be online. Most of all, young adults will be online both as end users and creators. They will create their own networks, write their own blogs, and many will develop their own online businesses even if it is only used to enhance their products they are selling on eBay to raise enough money for tuition.

Students are in essence a target market. They are a target market with expanded knowledge, defined needs and limited budgets. They are tech-savvy. As a webhosting provider, 24Shells is ready to meet their needs. Take a look at the affordable webhosting plans, scalability with VPS hosting plans and even the ability to be an entrepreneur with reseller hosting plans.

What a great way to put yourself through college and build your résumé at the same time.
