Apache Webserver Surpasses 50 Million Website Mark

chris81 writes "For the first time ever, the Apache Web Server is powering more than 50 million websites, according to Netcraft's Web Server Survey for October. Although relative share fell by 0.67 percent, the total number of sites powered by Apache grew to over 52 million. Microsoft's IIS finished second with more than 15 million sites served."

"Is that so"

[Rolf Tollerud]

This Netcraft statistic is comfort drug to the Slashdot's unwashed masses. If you instead count only real servers own by the company (dedicated servers) IIS is 4-5 times more used then Apache. To bundle 500-1000 different IP customers together on one computer distort the statistic. But Slasdot is never known for reason, logic and common sense of course.

I'll bet that 49 million of them are virtual domains on the same server with names like make-money-fast-heres-how.info investment-secrets-2005.info splog-world.info, etc.
