    2 companies accounted for over 200K of those domains on Savvis.

    Over 161,000 to Fabulous.com.
    Over 60,000 to Domain Active.

    Per TheWhir.

    Wow, I've only really heard of about five of those companies. Congrads to them though on their success.

    Maybe the big hosts should support smaller hosts

    Wow, I didn't know that thePlanet was such a huge player in the industry. I knew they were popular, but wow.

    EV1 are number 2 if you count the domains. And I'm sure NetSol are still bigger than GoDaddy. Also, these aren't "web hosts" but registrars and data centers. Interesting facts about The Planet though:
    The Planet which grew by over 62.6K hostnames last month, with a large influx of customers from competing hosting companies. The Dallas provider had a net gain of at least 1K hostnames from seven competitors - including EV1Servers (7.2K hostnames), BurstNet (6.9K), Onecall.net (3K), Pegasus Web Tech (1,3K), Hostway (1.3K), Managed.com (1.2K) and NetAccess (1.1K).
    So other data centers are losing customers hand over fist to The Planet. Savvis's growth was due to their acquisition of Cable and Wireless.
