The german company Strato (in cooperation with KPNQwest) claims to be the largest web hosting service, but I couldn't find any numbers on their web site. Their data center, they say, is suited for more than a million domains, so they have probably less than that. Recently I heard that they said to have had an increase of 400000 domains last year, so it should be a total between that and a million. Paid web hosting service, that is, and they are using Solaris, not FreeBSD. -- Juergen Nickelsen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
