Subsidiary
Combine filters →A subsidiary keeps its name, its customers and usually its staff, while strategy, pricing policy and eventually the roadmap belong to the parent. It matters most for questions about jurisdiction and data, since an order is served on a legal entity and the parent is part of that picture. The parent company is recorded on each page where it is known.
62 providers are subsidiary, listed alphabetically. Mostly shared hosting, Virtual Private Servers and GPU cloud, of 13 categories in all. 46 records do not record this field, and cannot appear here either way.
