.
Various different websites publish different popular hosting statistics. But we have created our own real statistics based on user’s own popular choices during February 2013
The principle of recording these statistics is very simple but at the same time very reliable -
1) We took list of 3,000,000 most popular websites on the internet. These are all sites on the internet being visited by 100+ people per day.
2) For each of these 3 million websites we found all those sites IP addresses. These websites use a total of 1,130,000+ IP addresses.
3) For each IP address we found the official registered IP owner and this consists of the hosting company who own the IP address on which those individual sites are based.
(Of course this excludes small hosting companies from the list who rent servers from big hosting companies and who afterwards re-sell hosting).
And we dynamically built statistics using these three million websites hosting information.
According to our statistics the most popular hosting in Feb 2013:
1) Softlayer Technologies Inc, 116,921 hosted sites
2) Godaddy.com LLC, 99,693 hosted sites
3) Google Inc, 94,811 hosted sites
4) Hostgator.com Llc, 92,928 hosted sites
5) Theplanet.com Internet Services, Inc (merged with Softlayer now), 74,015 hosted sites
6) Hetzner Online Ag, 65,338 hosted sites
7) Bluehost Inc, 63,078 hosted sites
8) Ovh Sas, 57,400 hosted sites
9) Rackspace Hosting, 41,721 hosted sites
10) Peer 1 Network Inc, USA, 35,092 hosted sites
11) 1&1 Internet Ag, Germany, 33,484 hosted sites
12) Peer1 Network Enterprises Limited, United Kingdom, 32,760 hosted sites
13) Amazon.com, 29,492 hosted sites
14) Sakura Internet Inc, Japan, 26,407 hosted sites
15) New Dream Network, LLC, 26,376 hosted sites

Q: So since Hostgator is in Softlayer, are they counted twice?
A: Hostgator.com and Softlayer.com work under separate brands and have different hosting offers/sites/servers. They also supply companies registration information separately in the public whois systems for their ip address ranges. Therefore we calculate statistics for them separately.
This is more useful for people than if we unite different brands from one parent company.
We use only LIVE information from public Whois systems (RIPE/ARIN/KRNIC/AFRINIC/etc.), statistics is correct.
