Netcraft Claims Apache Now Runs 2/3rds Of The Web

Posted by timothy on from the mighty-feather dept.

Mr Bill writes "According to NetCraft the Apache web server now owns over 2/3rds of the web. The jump of 2.8% since last month is mostly due to a number of large domain parking sites switching back to Apache from IIS. 'During 2001 and the first half of 2002 several companies hosting very large numbers of hostnames including Webjump, Namezero, Homestead, register.com and Network Solutions migrated to Microsoft-IIS. Subsequently these businesses have either failed, significantly changed their business model, or reverted to their previous platform, and Microsoft-IIS share is now in line with its long term pre-summer 2001 level of around 20%.' See the full report here."

      Why aren't the trolls talking about the banner ads that go down the side of the page? They're fucking hideous, and I can't stop myself from looking at them.

      Go reload the front page about 5-10 times so you can see it. I'm sure you'll agree it's hideous.

    An amusing post, but saying that MS-IIS is 'monopoly driven' when in the same sentence it is referenced how much more popular apache is seems somewhat odd.

    If MS had a monopoly in the server market, there would be no other choice. This is clearly not the case. Not only is there choice, more people pick apache. If anything, apache is closer to a monopoly (though both IIS and apache are far from it)
