I just visited WebHosting.Com, and realized they offered "unlimited" bandwidth. A lot of people know that "unlimited" bandwidth usually isn't unlimited, but WebHosting.Com is the #1 hosting company. Why is this?

Verio is the number one company with the most customers.

That's right, Curtis... well, probably not verio itself (verio.com), but all of its subsidiary companies combined make up one very big force.

Really? You think? I would have said OLM.NET, but that's just a guess.

Hmmm- interesting. I know register.com has the most because everyone uses them to park their domains. I wouldn't have guessed ProHosting, 'cause I only remember them being a FWP. OLM should be in between VERIO And VSERVERS 'cause OLM has 80,000 domains...

CWebNetCo,

I don't think your figures are as acurate as you think. I know Verio is about double what you think they have... The own HiWay Technologies which was the largest host in America with over 120,000 accounts... Added to the other many companies the Verio owns, they have well over 200,000 accounts. I don't know about the rest, but I do know that Verio is THE largest host in the world right now.

The number could change due to moving, cancel accounts and etc. You never know.
