July 2010 Web Server Survey
In the July 2010 survey we received responses from 205,714,253 sites.
This month's results show that three of the six major web servers have gained hostnames in the last month, while the other three suffered losses.
The largest of these gains came from Apache, which saw an increase of over 1.1M hostnames.
Google's share has continued to increase, albeit at a slower rate than last month with just under 500k additional hostnames. This is due to increased activity on Blogger.
lighttpd suffered the largest overall loss this month, falling by 446k hostnames. This was caused by the loss of 690k hostnames at Savvis in Australia. Microsoft also experienced a loss this month, serving 648k fewer hostnames worldwide and also losing 265k active sites. A big contributor to this was a loss of 388k hostnames due to lower activity on Microsoft Live Spaces.
