Feb 19, 2009 : 1and1 Fourth Largest US Web Host

📅 February 19, 2009 - Web hosting company 1&1 Internet (1and1.com) announced on Thursday it has surpassed competitor Yahoo (yahoo.com) to become the fourth largest US web host based on WebHosting.Info's (www.webhosting.info) domain rankings.

1&1 has grown considerably since it launched its US operations about five years ago with over 700,000 US customers to date.

According to WebHosting.Info's research, 1&1 currently has 3.7098 percent of the domain market share with 2,491,508 domains.

In comparison, Yahoo has 3.6072 percent of the market with 2,422,551 domains. WebHosting.Info ranks Wild West Domains as the top US web host, followed by Enom and Network Solutions.

"We are thrilled with 1&1's continued success in the US market, topping a giant like Yahoo only happens with true perseverance," says Oliver Mauss, CEO of 1&1 Internet. "When launching in the US we knew that becoming a leader in this industry would be no small feat, but we've tailored our services to deliver packages that allow individuals to achieve success on the web."

Like Netcraft (netcraft.com), WebHosting.Info is a research and statistics website that continuously releases data presenting micro and macro statistics about the web services industry.

The rankings are the result of WebHosting.Info's patent-pending process which, according to the press release, uses "several key technologies to generate comprehensive reports of unprecedented accuracy and quality, by processing data collected using public domain tools and utilities."

On the Methodology and Limitations section of its website, WebHosting.Info states that its data processing is also based on various assumptions which may lead to certain limitations in the report.

Perhaps most notable in the case of its top US web hosting rankings is that the site's researchers do not differentiate between hosted and non-hosted domains, meaning that the total domain counts can sometimes result in skewed rankings.

According to the press release, 1&1's parent company currently holds over 7.8 million customer contracts worldwide and manages over 10 million domain names.
