I run the largest web hosting review site by number of reviews... and I will say anything saying these are the top 10 are full of shit.

The premise alone is problematic, I help people find hosting every day, everyone's needs to tend to vary.

Top 10 for developers working in WordPress? Top 10 for non technical small business owners who simply need a 1 page information page and are only comfortable using a WYSIWYG? Top 10 for data science companies requiring GPUs to do calculations 24/7?

It's hard to make recommendations and top lists in the web hosting space tend to be organized simply by affiliate payout. Even my own site (reviewsignal.com) I publish meta-data based on what people think of companies, but if someone asks for recommendations the questions I ask change the outcome. Because different hosting products fit different use cases.

there surely must be a way to know where all the websites in the world are hosted ... I was trying to understand if there is any open information on this available
