35 tools

• market_structure

  Named provider shares for one national market — who holds the market, and how much, at a chosen layer. For how CONCENTRATED the market is rather than who is in it, use market_concentration. Arguments: market = TLD ('de','nl'); layer = control_plane | hosting | email | web…

• stack_profile

  Where the EMAIL of a website population lives once its front door has moved to a SaaS builder — the cross-layer wallet-fragmentation view, and the analysis behind the brief "the hosting stack didn't disappear — it fragmented". Arguments: market (TLD, e.g. 'no'); operator…

• hosting_momentum

  Where NEW websites start versus where the installed base sits, by hosting-front class — the leading-indicator question for share shift, ahead of anything the installed base shows. Arguments: scope = an aggregate ('global', 'europe', or 'europe_screened' — bulk moves excluded…

• market_concentration

  How concentrated a hosting market really is — HHI and structure per market and layer, for a competition or market-entry question. Named provider shares are market_structure's job; this tool answers how tight the market is, not who is in it. Arguments: market = 'global'…

• market_pricing

  Where a market's price level sits, without naming operators — the aggregate view for benchmarking a price point or sizing a repricing opportunity. Returns per-market medians that must not be conflated (storefront, ownership-group, share-weighted, and a like-for-like entry-rung…

• tld_pricing

  Domain-name pricing per registrar brand and market — register, renew, transfer, and the domain renewal cliff (renew divided by register), the first-year-teaser signal on the domain side of the bill. Use it for a named-brand domain price; use market_pricing for a market's…

• search_visibility

  WHO OWNS SEARCH for a market's head hosting term — the customer-acquisition channel view. A large host that is invisible here is leaving search to its competitors. It answers a different question from market_structure's ownership view; compare them, do not substitute one…

• pricing_profile

  The published offers of one named brand or consolidator group — the per-operator price sheet behind a competitive-pricing question. One row per persistent product identity, category-labelled, each carrying its ladder rung (rung 1 = the entry offer, the cross-brand comparison…

• pricing_moves

  Whether an operator's prices actually moved, and what kind of move it was — the dated event feed behind a repricing or renewal-conduct question. Each event compares two consecutive observations of the SAME persistent product; change_class says what moved (economics = a…

• email_security

  Email-authentication posture across a market or an operator's book — SPF and DMARC adoption and, more importantly, STRICTNESS: how much of the published policy actually rejects spoofed mail rather than merely monitoring it. Arguments: market grain ('global', 'europe', or a…

• layer_stickiness

  How sticky each layer of the hosting stack ACTUALLY is — measured switching rates, for a churn-assumption or land-and-expand question. This is the proof behind "front doors migrate quickly, trust migrates slowly". Arguments: scope = 'global' or 'europe'; empty = both. chart=true…

• saas_adoption

  Which SaaS categories an operator's customers have adopted — the attach-rate view for an upsell, whitespace or book-quality question, per hosting book rather than per market. Arguments: grain='group' (default) rolls up to the consolidator that owns the book; grain='operator'…

• technology_adoption

  What technology the European web runs on — CMS, e-commerce, analytics, marketing, CRM, consent, support chat, security, anti-bot, backend, hosting, site builder, AI builder and AI API adoption, plus social presence — read from the page itself. Its neighbour header_adoption reads…

• header_adoption

  What INFRASTRUCTURE the European web runs on — CDN, origin cache, web server, control panel, PaaS and runtime — read from the server's own response headers. Answers "who runs Varnish, LiteSpeed, Plesk, IIS, OpenResty" by operator, market or overall. Its neighbour…

• vendor_adoption

  WHO uses WHICH SaaS vendor, read from DNS rather than from the page — the relationship layer complementing technology_adoption. Two mechanisms answer two different questions: mechanism='verification' = domain-verification records, evidence the relationship was ESTABLISHED…

• independent_operators

  List INDEPENDENT hosting operators - well-integrated and not owned by any consolidator the ownership ledger maps - by size and market. A description of the independent segment, not a recommendation. Arguments: country_tld filters by the operator's dominant market; min_live sets…

• operator_profile

  Full profile of ONE hosting operator — footprint, geography, infrastructure signature and cohesion, ownership check, book health and industry mix. Arguments: brand_or_operator = an NS brand ('kasserver.com') or a provider id. Population: that operator's own book. For the…

• consolidator_scorecard

  Scorecard for ONE consolidator group (group.one, team.blue, your.online, united_internet, ovhcloud…) — raw versus integrated book, integration quality, and the customer base's industry mix, when the question is about one owner rather than the whole landscape. Arguments: group =…

• book_health

  The quality of an operator's book, not its size: dead-page share, modern-email and SaaS-web adoption, geographic and industry concentration, plus tenure and churn. Arguments: operator = a consumer BRAND, a nameserver operator, or a consolidator GROUP; brand names resolve…

• migration_flows

  Who is winning and losing customers against WHOM — direction-labelled migration flows involving a consolidator group, for a competitive-dynamics question. Movement WITHIN one group's own portfolio is group_movement's job, not this one's. Arguments: subject = a consolidator…

• peer_compare

  Side-by-side comparison of 2-6 named operators on footprint, book health and stability — for ranking a shortlist on one screen. Arguments: operators = a list of 2-6 names; brands resolve to the group that owns them. Population: each operator's own book, each figure labelled with…

• consolidation_landscape

  THE INDUSTRY MAP of hosting consolidation — every consolidator group side by side: live-business footprint, integration quality, sponsor and hold status, and acquisition activity including the hosting-versus-software mix and latest deal. The one-call orientation on who is…

• integration_depth

  HOW WELL a consolidator actually consolidates — the post-acquisition integration question. No argument returns the scoreboard: what share of the portfolio sits on group platforms, and how deeply ledger-matched acquisitions were integrated (a low score is a buy-and-hold FINDING…

• dossier

  ONE-CALL DOSSIER on a hosting operator or consolidator group — the packaged decision-support view when the question is "brief me on this company" rather than one metric: executive summary, market position, book quality, stability, SaaS attach, email-security posture, integration…

• coverage_calibration

  How complete HostingBrain's universe is — the honest answer to "what share of the market do you actually see?", calibrated against PUBLIC REGISTRY totals (Norid .no, SIDN .nl and similar), plus operator-level calibration examples. Arguments: include_history=True returns the full…

• customer_faithfulness

  Whether a provider's customers keep all their domains with it or spread them across several — a book-QUALITY signal no single provider can measure about itself, for a retention question. Arguments: no argument = the aggregate loyalty distribution (free): share of owners with a…

• group_movement

  How much a consolidator moves customers WITHIN its own portfolio — the "is this owner reorganizing its book" question, kept separate from wins and losses against other groups (migration_flows). Arguments: group = a consolidator or a brand that resolves to one; empty = the groups…

• ownership_evidence

  Which websites appear to be run by the same operator, and HOW STRONG the evidence is — the corroboration question behind an undisclosed-ownership or shared-operation claim. Use it for evidence about a cluster of domains; for a hosting group's book use consolidator_scorecard or…

• search

  Search HostingBrain's hosting-market intelligence — canonical definitions, published analyst briefs, and provider or consolidator names — when you need to find the right term, brief or entity before asking a numeric question. Arguments: query = what to look for; results carry…

• fetch

  Fetch full detail for a search result id — the companion to the search tool. Arguments: id = 'def:<term>' (a canonical definition with its caveats), 'brief:<slug>' (a published analyst brief summary and link), or 'operator:<group>' (a free-tier aggregate view).

• provenance

  How fresh the data behind an answer is — the public freshness summary for the current analytical release, for when a number's date matters to the decision. Arguments: none. Returns the external metadata only. Term-level methodology and book-type definitions are available through…

• feedback

  Report a problem or suggestion so HostingBrain can improve — for the calling model or a user. Use it when a number looks WRONG or contradicts another tool, when a tool was confusing or missing, or when you have a suggestion. Arguments: kind = data_error | confusing | missing |…

• definitions

  The canonical HostingBrain glossary — every dataset, coverage tier, attribution layer, metric and evidence grade in one authoritative place, so nobody conflates our terms. Consult it whenever a term's exact meaning, denominator or confidence grade matters; it is the source every…

• saas_diversification

  WHO, WHEN and WHAT in the industry's move up-stack — hosting consolidators branching into SaaS and adjacent software: the dated non-hosting deal timeline, each group's hosting-versus-software acquisition mix, and the acquisition clusters the deals fall into. Arguments: none…

• market_digitization

  How digitized a market's small businesses are — modern email plus SaaS web adoption in one index, as macro context for a market comparison or a whitespace question. Arguments: market_grain='country' = the like-for-like national ranking; 'generic_tld' = generic namespaces…
