Unlisted
This list of hosting companies are neither defunct, nor stubs. Yet they don’t show up in the listing with other providers. The most common reason is that they are holdings owning hosting brands. They keep a record because ownership is useful to know about. The ownership field records the same relation from the other side, on the record of each brand. A company that sells hosting under its own name as well as owning others is not here. It is in the register, with its parentage recorded like anybody else’s. GoDaddy and Ionos both own more brands than most readers would guess, and both sell hosting themselves.
