On the Web Hosting Show podcast, we have done a lot of talking recently about web hosts that use Twitter, and how they use it.  Some use it for support, others use it for marketing, and the best ones use it for both.  Who are the most popular web hosts on Twitter though?

To put that question to the test, I thought I would compile a list of all the web hosts on Twitter that have over 1,000 followers.  Out of nearly 100 web hosts on the Web, here are the 25 that made the cut.

1. WestHost Web Hosting (WestHost) on Twitter = 1,804 followers

Sure we all love the popular web sites (or they wouldn’t be that popular) but they are not the be all or end all to all goodness that comes from the Web.

One place that continues to surprise me is the blog for BlueFur.com. Why is it a winner? I am not even a BlueFur.com customer and I still like to read it – that is how you build a successful business right there. Here is just a sample of some of the cool posts that have been done there in the past:

• Marketing 101: Know What You Are (And What You’re Not)
• WordPress Wednesdays: Get Your Blog Set Up For Free

Gary Jones, the monster behind the magic over there, is also a brilliant guy all around I must say. I recently had a blast talking with him on my podcast over at WebHostingShow.com. So if you want to learn more about BlueFur.com that might be a good place to start:
