Is this the future of Web hosting or just another market in which Web hosts can make more money? VoIP (Voice Over IP) seems to be growing more and more each and every day. Even HostRocket.com has jumped into the VoIP game (link via the WHIR). Is this just a fad or is there more money to be made here than in traditional Web hosting services?

Web hosting provider HostRocket.Com announced on Monday it has launched ViaTalk in all 50 US states. Using VoIP telephony, the service enables HostRocket to provide residential and commercial users with telephone service via broadband Internet connections.

HostRocket says the ViaTalk service is a high quality and affordable product, compared to traditional switched telephone service.

Customers can transfer their existing telephone numbers to the service and use existing phones. Customers can also access a variety of advanced features normally not available with other services, including Enhanced E911 service and Web-based access to most calling features.

More Web hosts are jumping on the band waggon, that much is for sure.
