Who really owns your host?
A dozen hosting brands you think of as separate often share one owner. This is directory research on which web hosts belong to which parent company, so you can tell when a comparison is really between siblings. HRI scores each brand independently, whoever owns it.
Newfold Digital (formerly Endurance International) owns a large family of shared-hosting brands, several of them once independent budget hosts.
GoDaddy has grown by acquisition, folding in managed-WordPress, reseller, and European hosting brands alongside its own registrar business.
IONOS and its United Internet parent own a set of European hosting and infrastructure brands across Germany, Spain, the UK, and Austria.
Liquid Web focuses on managed hosting for agencies and businesses, and owns the managed-WooCommerce and WordPress brand Nexcess.
Hostinger runs low-cost shared and cloud hosting worldwide, and owns the Indonesia-focused brand Niagahoster.
DigitalOcean is a developer-focused cloud provider that acquired the managed-hosting platform Cloudways to move up into managed hosting.
Namespace Group owns registrar and reseller-hosting brands, including the European domain specialist EuroDNS and the platform Openprovider.
