1&1 Internet Now Hosts 5 Million Sites

Via Netcraft.

1&1 Internet has become the first hosting company with more than 5 million web-facing hostnames, while Go Daddy has surged past the 4 million mark in a month of milestones in our Hosting Provider Switching Analysis. Other hosts hitting major benchmarks this month included Yahoo and EV1Servers each surpassing 1 million hostnames.

1&1 Internet has been the largest host since the inception of our switching analysis in 2002, but Go Daddy is making up ground quickly, having added a million hostnames since January of this year. By comparison, 1&1 passed 4 million sites in July 2004, taking 11 months to add its next million hostnames.
