Another month, another popular list to analyse despite the lack of much change. midPhase and its sister-site ANHosting traded places more or less. StartLogic popped back onto the list and 1&1 departed again. BlueHost still owns the top and Yahoo! still floats around the bottom.
It is interesting to note that two of the top hosts (DreamHost and ThinkHost) are both “green” hosts, powering their servers and operations with wind and solar power. It could be that a Prius effect is spreading into the hosting world as well. If you’re looking for green hosting, other choices that pop to mind are HostPapa (wind and solar), AISO (solar), and GoGreenHosting (wind). SingleHop also puts a stake into the “green” space, but from the direction of making their data center use less energy rather than buying cleaner energy.
