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.

    Same shit, different day. Wasn't it yesterday that Didiot came out with an anti-Linux statistical analysis?
    (Yes, it was).

    Let's please get with the "right tool for the right job" program, and start spending our money on innovation and development. I'm just as much of a zealot for open source, GNU/Linux as the next guy, but I'd much rather see our time and energy go into making new technologies.

    Really, seriously, why does this matter? And why is it slashdotted? Should we all convert our servers to IIS because a few big companies did? Post some real news already.

    This is classic. IIS is gaining market share over Apache. It's all Bush's fault!
