I think it's very telling that something like 60% of YC companies have a SSL certificate...means they are most likely processing some financial transactions, so they charge their users directly it's also interesting that so many are using the hurricane electric host...never even heard of them before

Or they like to handle logins properly.

  Or that they paid attention when Firesheep came out.

> it's also interesting that so many are using the hurricane electric host...never even heard of them before I'm fairly sure Linode's West coast datacenter is in a Hurricane Electric facility so imagine those are simply Linode customers.

  Interesting. Thanks for pointing that out. Maybe I can figure out a way to separate those hosts out from HE based on some other factor.

HE is a pretty nice colo facility and backbone; not many people use them for hosting directly, but instead for colo/dedicated servers. Other hosts using their colo facility may be listed as HE. They're also one of the more well known proponents of IPv6, offering free IPv6 tunnel brokerage services, so if you need to support IPv6 or would like an IPv6 address block, they can help you out.
