This is very interesting stuff indeed. The downside to this type of report is that it is focused on the high volume hosting companies that do 80% plus of their business in virtual hosting rather than dedicated or custom hosting. The data is focused on the web site rather than the hosting company. Based on what I can see that they are collecting, it would be interesting and fairly easy to see the data turned around to focus on the hosting company and segment the companies based on the types of service they offer. I have been looking for a report like this for the past year. It does not exist, even from Gartner.
## Tracking Web-Host Switching.. Netcraft has developed a technique to identify movements of sites from one hosting provider to another on a monthly basis. Netcraft compares the hosting location of each site found by the Web Server Survey as indicated by the DNS with the equivalent information for the same site in the previous month. Well done--interesting stuff. [Blogarithms]
