Apache Jumps In Market Share

Posted by krow on from the little-graphs-with-little-lines dept.

mshiltonj writes "In case no one has noticed, the lastest Netcraft web server survey showed a marked shift in market share in just one month. Apache gained 2.63% and IIS fell 2.06%. However, the previous month showed an even larger change in Microsoft's favor, so Apache is (quickly) making up for lost ground, as discussed before. Was this turnaround due to the release of Apache 2.0? Sadly, in the last 12 months, Apache's market share has noticeably eroded, while IIS has gradually gained ground."

    It's pretty crappy that NetCraft includes all those domain names that are just parked on webservers. One provider moves web servers one way or another, and it appears that there's a huge migration somewhere.

    Migrating empty virtual hosts isn't what 95% of the internet will be doing when evaluating a 'new' web server.
