March Netcraft survey

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the surveying-the-web dept.

awptic writes "The March Netcraft survey is out. Among the changes is a 4% increase in the number of websites running IIS, primarily due, however, to register.com's domain name parking service switching to mostly IIS servers, which account for over 2 million of the 38 million sites surveyed. Ironically, a large number of the websites were defaced shortly thereafter."

    We (being a primarly MS house) got so fed up with this IIS (4.0) box that we actually put Apache for Windows on it. The main issue was dynamic scripting for site creation. A Perl script written in less then an hour (with minimal Perl experience then that, and NO experience with httpd.conf) was much more efficient then a huge VBScript (written over a few days) that accessed the IIS Metabase. However, with IIS 6.0 all site configuration and creation can be done by simply interfacing with an XML file.
