    Okay! I've updated my chart. Companies that are using Linode should be accurately reported now. This is mostly thanks to the suggestion from HN user jedsmith. I've updated my script to incorporate what should be a more accurate way of deter

    I apparently need to do a little more work on programmatically detecting companies hosted by Linode. Comments, ideas, bugs and patches welcome. The program I used to generate the report is hosted on GitHub here: https://github.com/jpf/doma

    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.

    I updated my script to take that into account. The page has has been updated to reflect that change.

    Makes sense. I'll do that after I'm done with the meeting I'm in now. Edit: Changed. However, the number of companies with A records in netblocks that are owned by "Slicehost" is pretty small. Perhaps Rackspace has been working on changing

    Many people expressed the same sentiment when I posted this last year: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=746386 I did note a small reduction in the percentage of YC domains registered with GoDaddy, but nothing significant. :/
