Will Microsoft IIS Overtake Apache?

Posted by timothy on from the netcraft-hints-at-it dept.

First time accepted submitter jcdr writes "February's 2014 Web Server Survey by Netcraft shows a massive increase [in the share of] Microsoft's web server since 2013. Microsoft's market share is now only 5.4 percentage points lower than Apache's, which is the closest it has ever been. If recent trends continue, Microsoft could overtake Apache within the next few months, ending Apache's 17+ year reign as the most common web server."

    Also many Cloud Platforms are giving a Windows Option. As many companies move their Intranet stuff to the cloud, all those internal IIS may be considered hosted more publicly.

    Combine with the fact that most of us in IT really don't care anymore. Windows Server and IIS have matured over the decade and for most stuff is good enough. Unlike the IIS 6 days where the system was just a open hole to attack.
