HostList data

THE EVIDENCE BEHIND WEB HOSTING

Explore the public datasets behind HostList: 30,772 active companies across 129 country markets, monthly HRI movement, an hourly directory ledger, evidence-linked disclosures, and reusable JSON endpoints. Each dataset states its denominator and update schedule. Paid placement never changes HRI or the order of ranked results.

Disclosure coverage

What providers have verified

This matrix shows the twelve most disclosed fact types by directory segment. Each cell is the number and share of active companies with that specific fact in the verified state. Submitted, stale, disputed, and rejected facts do not count. A small percentage means the dataset is thin; it is not evidence that providers lack the feature.
