Top Hosts By Customer
I know that most here don't have actual numbers, so I am relying largely on perception here. Who do you think the top 5 hosts, based on number of customers, are in each of these categories:
Shared Hosting
Dedicated Hosting
Colocation

I can probably only do top three, it's quite a tricky question. Would you, for example, consider Inflow and all it's datacenters, and class people that lease cages / large areas of their datacenters as colocation customers?
What about companies such as Level3? They are a telco, but own datacenters and lease space too.
Shared:
NTT / Verio
CI_Host
Interland (& it's subsiduaries)
Dedicated:
Rackshack
NTT / Verio
CI_Host
Colocation:
Level3
InterNAP

I'd be interested in your views on this, you probably have a greater knowledge of this, plus with your 'contacts', I'm sure you have a pretty good idea Please PM me if you don't want to post your views yet...Matthew Russell | Namecheap

I'm going to cheat, and break it into 4 categories:
1. Shared (in no particular order):
Interland
Interliant
CI_HOST
NTT/Verio
Hostway (though I think they are Verio)
2. Managed (in no particular order):
IBM
Digex
Hostopia
RackSpace
EDS
3. Dedicated (in no particular order):
Rackshack
Superb
AIT
Affinity
Interland
4. Colo (in no particular order):
Level3
InterNAP
UUNet/WorldCom
Exodus/C&W
Abovenet/MFN
What are other's thoughts on this list?

It looks like Tier 1 had the same thought that I did:

I'm curious as to why RackShack is not on their list (it wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that Tier1 is partnered with RackSPACE...naaah?

That's okay Matt, you and I can develop our own list, make some pretty graphs and charge people $1200 a pop for them .

I've never been a sucker for analysts, I think most of their analysing is pretty subjective anyway....Matthew Russell | Namecheap
