Which company is the Google of web hosting industry?

When it comes to web hosting business, we can recall so many famous names like Yahoo, Hostgator, Dreamhost, ix web hosting, Bluehost, Hostmonster and so many more. But which one of them is the best? like Google is amongst the search engines?

If Google started web hosting services, they would definitely be the leader in this industry.

It is difficult to find an answer to this question and the answer may be different for each one of us depending on our requirements.

Yahoo! due to its brand image looks like the most reliable and famous web hosting company around but for reasons it is not. The reason is their poor customer support and notoriety for long standing technical issues that take ages to resolve.

Hostgator is another potential and so is Blue Host. But the web hosting market is divided into so many different categories that no one company caters to all segments of this business.

Some companies provide low cost hosting, while others keep focus on high end customers with resource intensive requirements like video and image hosting.

What do you think is the Google-equivalent of web hosting business?
