author here. If/when I get around to doing an update of these tests there are a lot of companies missing (flywheel, mediatemple, dreamhost, etc). Pantheon added it while I was working on this, so I didn't even get a chance to consider them for this go. I will definitely keep them in mind though.

  Flywheel is amazing, you should really add them to the test. http://getflywheel.com/ http://getflywheel.com/

  Could you please at least update this version of the article with a link to the demo page that you blitz'd? Or, at least one public link to a webpagetest.org result that shows the number of requests, grades and total amount of data downloaded per page requested? This is a great writeup and a real gem among a sea of junk hosting reviews out there, but I am having a hard time couching these results against my current service because blitz.io, and webpagetest.org results obviously vary to a HUGE degree depending the site / page tested and how it has been optimized. My regular testing includes webpagetest.org and blitz.io as well, so I just need a little more of a frame of reference to decide whether or not I want to use one of those coupon codes and make a switch. Thanks!

I will have to get back to you on a nicer formatted version.

Interesting benchmarks. I am really impressed with the depth you have gone with these tests. It will be great to see newer companies included in that list too like cloudways.com and jumpstarter.io. Pantheon, Cloudways and Jumpstarter are three great platforms with a potential to beat a lot of higher players in this industry.
