I think dedicated servers would definitely become more affordable in the coming years but a free dedicated servers is a distant possibility though.

I don't think Free Dedicated Servers would be a possibility at all. Dedicated Servers are the Core of all Internet Products whether its Shared Hosting, Email Accounts, Streaming, Forums, VPS, Wiki's and other Web Software.

Hello!
I think that dedicated servers become more popular and more cheaper than now. There are a lot of companies offer not expencive dedicated solutions like: 3fn.net, ahosting.biz, hostgator.com, valuhost.com.
There are a lot of companies offer smaler solutions: VPS and semidedicated. I think that all branches of web hosting industry.
Every project (as rule) starts with shared and than grows to dedicated.

I don't expect the 'budget providers' to last long in the industry because VPS's are becoming more efficient than entry level dedicated servers.

I agree with you Marks. The costs decrease you see with hosting is due to sharp decreases in bandwidth pricing and to some extent hardware costs. Data center space and power are at a premium. In fact, one could argue that they are higher than ever. Just as we saw in the telecom service sector, competition dropped prices signifcantly, but eventually they level out.

Dedicated server will still have the demand compare to VPS as once you need a good machine and you can afford the budget, you will still go back to dedicated instead of Shared servers.
