Would anybody know what host FaceBook uses?

[Ascent]

Does anybody know the webhosts of the following sites:

FaceBook.com
YouTube.com
Twitter.com

If so, what are they?

 

[Raymond]

Well websites like Youtube/Google are hosted by Google+Youtube as it states it and is pretty known that no host could handle the resources they use daily.. Google I know for sure has a whole room, As I read something a while back.


For Facebook it may be the same thing hosted by themselves can always check out

Google search: who hosts a website and click the first few links.

I think I remember hearing/reading something about Facebook hosting themseles.

I think I remember hearing/reading something about Facebook hosting themseles.

I believe they do.
Yahoo hosts Wikipedia if you were wondering.

Yeah, as already said the more than likely host themselves. Hell, even my Boss puts his clients and his own site on its on server.

Well, I know most of the biggest websites on the Internet host themselves, due to the amount of resources they use.
They'd need hundreds of dedicated servers for everything. Do you think a normal host could provide THAT to a "single customer"?

Facebook doesn't just own their own equipment, they're building an entire datacenter.

Google now hosts Youtube, and G has around a half million servers around the world.

Twitter is moving to its own DC as well. Story: http://tinyurl.com/y7pgp5w As of now they lease over 15,000 square feet of dc space with NTT America.
