I made a little bit more robust version. Some of the whois calls (like heroku.com) have 2 OrgName lines and some don't have one at all (like weebly.com).

Tell PG to update the YC FAQ, then. :-)
There's the wikipedia list also, which used to have all of them, them several wikipedians insisted on "notability" so it's much less complete than it once was.
Re:Ask YC: Where is YC News hosted?

Is that what happened to the Wikipedia article? I thought the list used to be more comprehensive.
The "News" link on YC points here, so I assume this is intended to be the place for YC company headlines, but I wish there was a more traditional "Press" or similar page on the YC site to track news about and announcements from the participants. An alternative would be some type of parameterized link filtering the results for relevance, but in its current form it just dumps one into the news pool here (which presently looks like _another_ company's Press section!).
Since "where are YC funded companies hosted" is a common question, I'll answer that too, based on the list of YC-funded companies at http://www.ycombinator.com/faq.html:
