Do you have any favorite blogs which you love to read them often? Well, if it’s a popular blog, probably you know who are the guys (founder and editors) generating the interesting content. However, without a web host, that website will definitely not exist on the net. Many people are only aware who write or design the blog but only a small minority really care about the most important factor that guides a blog to success. This crucial factor got to be the web host!
Grabbing information from WhoIsHostingThis (a website that shows you the web host for every website you want to search for), I’ve created my own list of “Who Are the Web Hosts Behind the Top 20 Blogs?”. Although, the folks there has already came up with the idea of “The World’s Top 100 Blogs & Their Hosts“, but in here, I’ve done it using a differnet perspective. Also, the popular blogs are ranked based on the number of unqiue visitors per month and the source is from Compete (a web tracking platform).
