Apache approaches a quarter of a million sites

The number of sites running Apache, increased from 214,366 at the start of November to 247,419, giving it 41% of the survey.

Microsoft-IIS & NT4 make headway

Microsoft-IIS gained a further ten thousand sites this month, rising from 29,613 to 40,466. Microsoft continues to make ground on the second and third placed developers, Netscape and NCSA.

Overall, the percentage of NT specific servers, running one of IIS, Website, WebsitePro, Purveyor, EMWAC, Commerce-Builder, Alibaba, or WebQuest, is now 15.25%. This includes nothing in respect of the number of Netscape or Navisoft servers which may be running on NT, or for a number of servers with smaller number of sites also running on NT. We are unable to produce a figure for Netscape or Navisoft on NT, as the signature for these servers when running on NT machines is indistinguishable from the Unix versions.

Reports and Interactive Queries

Reports are provided showing server usage for the Internet as a whole, and for selected domains, with links to all the sites responding to the survey.

A facility for you to check what server a particular site is running now is also available. The same form can be used to ensure that a particular site is included in future surveys. A directory of sites running in developer domains is also provided.
