In fact, the country is home to 42% of the world's top one million sites. But website owners outside the U.S. can clearly also choose to host their site in the country where they live, what is often referred to as onshore web hosting.
To answer the question of how popular onshore web hosting is, Pingdom scanned the top 1 million websites in the world and analyzed all sites using a ccTLD (country code top-level domain.) As it turns out, website owners in Germany, South Korea, and Vietnam are the most likely to choose]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 17 May 2013 11:20:48 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Pingdom releases free WordPress plugin for Real User Monitoring</title><link>http://news.cision.com/pingdom/r/pingdom-releases-free-wordpress-plugin-for-real-user-monitoring,c9406607</link><guid isPermaLink="false">cision1314210</guid><description><![CDATA[Pingdom has today introduced a free plugin for WordPress that makes it easy for anyone to add support for Real User Monitoring (RUM) to their WordPress site.

Last year (http://royal.pingdom.com/2012/04/23/current-status-of-the-browser-wars/), Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer each dominated two regions of the world.

Now, Google Chrome is the most popular browser in four out of six regions. Only users in North America and Oceania seem to still prefer Internet Explorer to Chrome.
Here are some key findings of the 2013 Browser Wars study by Pingdom:

More specifically, do you know in which cities they are located?

We do and now you can as well. After analyzing the top one million websites in the world, we now present you with some rather astonishing findings.
Here’s a sample of some of the more interesting findings:

But knowing how many Internet users there are in a time zone, somewhere around the world, is not as easy.
Pingdom's brand new report offers new perspectives on how we use the Internet and how it develops. The obvious conclusion from the study is that the greatest number of potential new Internet users lie in the east, in time zones UTC +5 to +9, which includes China and India.
But there are more interesting things to learn from this study. For example, just over 40% of all the world's]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 12 Feb 2013 15:22:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Asia is both top and bottom of the world Internet speed league</title><link>http://news.cision.com/pingdom/r/asia-is-both-top-and-bottom-of-the-world-internet-speed-league,c9363580</link><guid isPermaLink="false">cision1228961</guid><description><![CDATA[It should come as no surprise that the world's fastest Internet connection speeds can be found in Asia with Hong Kong offering an impressive 54.1 Mbps, the fastest in the world. According to the most recent Pingdom study, Asia is also home of the world’s slowest Internet connections.
Some of the key highlights from the study:

  · Asia has both the fastest and slowest internet speeds in the world, ranging from 2.9 Mbps in Iran to 54.1 Mbps in Hong Kong.
  · Asia has the lowest median Internet speed of all continents except Africa.
  · Europe is the continent with the fastest average]]></description><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2013 14:06:03 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Pingdom profiles the Internet in 2012 with lots of statistics</title><link>http://news.cision.com/pingdom/r/pingdom-profiles-the-internet-in-2012-with-lots-of-statistics,c9358189</link><guid isPermaLink="false">cision1218515</guid><description><![CDATA[Have you been wondering how to describe the Internet in 2012 in numbers? We have and we think we have at least some of the answers. How many emails were sent during 2012? How many domains are there? What’s the most popular web browser? How many Internet users are there?

As we have done for a number of years now, we’ve gone to the ends of the web – wherever that is – and back again, and compiled a list of truly fascinating facts about the year that was. Some of the numbers are snapshots taken during the year; others cover the entire period. Either way, they all contribute to giving us a]]></description><pubDate>Thu, 17 Jan 2013 09:26:38 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Pingdom announces new advanced feature for website transaction monitoring</title><link>http://news.cision.com/pingdom/r/pingdom-announces-new-advanced-feature-for-website-transaction-monitoring,c9356742</link><guid isPermaLink="false">cision1216068</guid><description><![CDATA[Västerås, Sweden ― January 14, 2013 ― Pingdom, a leading global provider of website uptime and performance monitoring services, today announced the Pingdom Transaction Monitor, a new type of website monitoring check.

But where are those sites hosted? It would be safe to assume that there are big sites about Africa hosted outside the continent, but we identified the top 100 websites actually hosted in Africa. In fact, 2,670 websites out of the world’s top 1 million sites are hosted in Africa.
