Companies Using Pantheon

Our live crawl finds Pantheon serving 26,012 domains, resolving to 17,751 identifiable companies. Named users include Starbucks, the University of California, HCA Healthcare, Nokia, Allied Universal and AECOM. The base skews toward mission-driven organisations: non-profits are the largest single industry at 6.02%, ahead of hospitals and higher education.

We detect 26,012 domains running Pantheon across our monthly crawl of live business domains. Company data could be matched for 17,751 of them (68.2%), and every company-size, industry and country breakdown on this page describes that matched subset rather than the full detected base. A further 932 domains carried a Pantheon detection previously and no longer do.

Pantheon holds 1.11% of our PaaS category and ranks 10th of 50 tracked technologies. That category groups specialist managed hosting with general-purpose cloud, where Amazon Web Services alone holds 39.98%. Since Pantheon serves only WordPress and Drupal, its share of the platforms it actually competes with is considerably higher.

By footprint the largest PaaS alternatives are Amazon Web Services (936,363 domains), Vercel (389,653), Azure (175,651), Firebase (160,932) and Netlify (154,481). For WordPress and Drupal specifically the closer comparisons are managed WordPress hosts such as WP Engine, since Pantheon competes on managed CMS workflow rather than general compute.

Pantheon is heavily US-centric. The United States accounts for 81.55% of matched companies (14,180), with Canada at 6.38% (1,109) and the United Kingdom at 4.51% (785). European adoption is minimal, with Germany at just 0.53%, which is a much narrower geographic base than general-purpose cloud platforms show.

Pantheon serves mostly small organisations. Companies with 1 to 10 employees are 37.21% of matched customers and 11 to 50 a further 29.04%, so two thirds have fewer than 50 staff. Organisations above 1,000 employees account for 6.07%, though those few include large universities and health systems.

Companies founded in the 2010s are the largest group at 21.99% of matched customers, followed closely by those founded before 1960 at 19.96% and in the 2000s at 18.01%. That split reflects the two halves of the base: newer agencies and digital teams alongside long-established universities, hospitals and non-profits.

Based on our matched customer data, the typical Pantheon customer is a US or Canadian organisation with fewer than 50 employees, running WordPress or Drupal, in the non-profit, healthcare or higher education sector. Sector and CMS choice predict adoption far better than company size, since the platform only serves those two content systems.

We detect Pantheon on 26,012 domains as of our August 2026 crawl, of which 17,751 match to a named company, a 58% match rate. Agencies commonly run many client sites on Pantheon, so the number of distinct paying accounts is lower than the domain count suggests.

Non-profit Organizations lead at 6.02% of matched customers, followed by Hospitals and Health Care at 4.39%, Higher Education at 4.33%, Construction at 3.78% and Software Development at 3.11%. Non-profits, healthcare and higher education together make up 14.74%, the most mission-driven base of any hosting platform we track.

We match Pantheon's own edge response headers, including a Server header beginning with Pantheon and the x-pantheon-styx-hostname and x-styx-req-id headers its routing layer emits. These are produced by the platform itself when it serves a page, so a detection is direct evidence the site runs on Pantheon.

Google Tag Manager appears on 82.37% of Pantheon domains and Google Analytics on 78.85%, both above the corpus norm. Cloudflare fronts 27.48%, which is worth noting because Pantheon provides its own global edge cache; those customers have chosen to layer an additional CDN in front of the platform.

On the window we can observe Pantheon is net negative against general-purpose cloud. We recorded 88 domains moving to Amazon Web Services and 51 to Vercel, against 52 arriving from AWS and 6 from Vercel. In total 932 domains have dropped Pantheon since tracking began in March 2026, against 26,012 active detections.
