Market leader by size
The leading Hosting & PaaS system shifts with company size: among UK Advanced Manufacturing with under 10 employees, SiteGround leads at 21.7% of the 2,139 with a detectable system; among UK Advanced Manufacturing with 10–50 employees, SiteGround leads at 26.8% of the 1,228 with a detectable system; and among UK Advanced Manufacturing with over 50 employees, SiteGround leads at 21% of the 195 with a detectable system.
Under 10 employees
21.7% of band
Under 10 employees is the largest detected band, with 2,139 companies. SiteGround leads at 21.7%, with the remainder spread across managed hosting, control panel, cloud storage, and PaaS systems.
10–50 employees
26.8% of band
10–50 employees includes 1,228 companies and has the highest SiteGround share, at 26.8%. WP Engine, Plesk, Amazon Web Services, and the longer tail still account for much of the band.
Over 50 employees
21% of band
Over 50 employees is a smaller detected band, with 195 companies. SiteGround leads at 21.0%, so larger advanced manufacturing firms still show mixed use rather than a single enterprise-standard pattern.
How Hosting & PaaS usage is detected
Company data
Detected companies are joined to UK Companies House records and XBRL accounts data. Revenue and headcount figures come from the most recent filed accounts; where the company has not filed, values are estimated using a model trained on filed history and peer benchmarks and are labelled as estimates.
Detection
Firmbase crawls the public website of actively-trading UK companies and fingerprints the technologies present: tracking scripts, embedded forms, chat widgets, CMS markers and similar signatures. A company is included in this list when one or more of the technology's signatures are found on its site; closely-related variants of the same product are grouped under one name. Detection covers what is visible on the public web — a company using the technology purely internally, with no website footprint, will not appear. Counts are therefore a conservative floor, not a ceiling.
Freshness
Websites are re-crawled on a rolling basis and the underlying company data is refreshed from Companies House continuously; filings appear within days of submission. The list and its statistics are regenerated when the detected cohort moves meaningfully. You can see the last-updated timestamp near the top of the page.
