A web hosting service provides infrastructure to enable website owners to make their website accessible on the internet. We distinguish the web hosting provider, as the direct partner of the website owners, from the data center provider, who provides the hardware and networking infrastructure, and may or may not be the same as the hosting provider. We also separate reverse proxy services and CDN providers in a distinct category, as they typically do not provide hosting services. We group brands, that are owned by the same entity, to show the real relevant market shares.
