Apache down, IIS up

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the falling-sky-repair-dirt-cheap dept.

Doctor Memory writes "Netcraft's June 2006 web server survey is out, and it shows IIS taking a dramatic upturn, at the expense of Apache. One of the biggest reasons cited is domain registrar Go Daddy switching to IIS for the domains it "parks". The report does go on to note that IIS is also making solid gains in active sites (including some large blog hosts), and further notes that it appears that large hosting companies are dropping Linux." Statistics are fun to play with, of course, but note that Apache's market share is approximately 30% higher than IIS's at the moment.

    Yes, Netcraft has confirmed that Apache is now dead. Thank you.

    Oooohhhkay.

    So, after much years of expensive research dollars, Microsoft IE server has FINALLY become a highly optimized and finely honed webserver that serves just a single static page?

    Most lopsided lie (um,,, I meant statistic) I've ever seen.
