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."

  2. Running IIS under wine. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    Our company has to run IIS for some propeitery bespoke ASP applications that don't currently work on any ASP emulators for linux. So we run IIS under wine for our backend which gets tunnelled through our J2EE Database (that uses mysql) that gets turned into PHP code that is served though our netbeans interface running on Apache.

    Yes, ASP can be annoying, but for lots of companies, ASP is essential for the enterprise features J2EE and PHP currently lack.

    How did we do it? Well we did what NERO corporation did (the people who make NERO burning rom), they have a howto on their site

    This dumbass troll again - you used it three months ago and here it is again, seducing the unwary.

    The US Army's only macintoshes, to my knowledge, are used by the art departments of various units.

    If I suggested using a Macintosh web server, i'd be laughed out of the room and probably ultimately fired.

    So much for the military using a Mac web server.

    You need to stop smoking that stuff.
