I am always mentioning that  without a sufficiently  large user base , approximately
a large number of companies will not be interested in FreeBSD  because they will
not be able to sell products to FreeBSD users to recover their expenses .
I am a subscriber of many FreeBSD mailing lists .  It is very easy to store a
copy of mailing list archives by using  "wget" .
If we count  the current FreeBSD users , we will see that the number ( NOT value ) of
them is small .  Newcomers are  very rare .

There are several companies that use and support FreeBSD on the back-end:

Some of the few that come to mind:
  • Juniper
  • NetApp
  • Netflix
  • Verisign
