Netcraft Survey Updated

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the looking-at-the-web dept.

The latest survey is out and ready for reading from Netcraft. There's some interesting commentary in regards to Code Red, and its effects on web usage. One of the things that I found most interesting was the data showing that while the number of sites hosted by Apache continues to grow, the number of physical webservers running some variety of Windows is about half of the total. Worth checking out.

    7 countries and counting...

    But there is an answer:

    P.S Is it one of those urban myths or does IIS really stand for Internet Infection System ?

    P.S Is this a 'joke', or are you really that stupid?

    (IIS == Internet Information Server)
