Web Server Survey Turns 10

The Netcraft Web Server Survey turns 10 years old this month, and marks another milestone, finding over 70 million Web sites on the Internet. Phew! That's a lot of Web sites.

The first Netcraft survey in August 1995 found 18,957 hosts, with the NCSA web server dominating with 57 percent market share, leading CERN (19%) and a newcomer named Apache (3.5%). Microsoft's Internet Information Server launched in February 1996, and by the survey's fifth birthday the server market was largely divided up between Apache (62%) and IIS (19%).

Apache continues its dominance, weighing in at just under 70% of all hostnames.

While checking on something else today, I noticed that Shirley has completed what I would imagine was a pretty tough server move from Windows IIS (yuck!) to a new FreeBSD, Apache, MySQL and PHP box.

Welcome to AMP Shirley! I run the exact same setup. If you are planning a similar move, and in particular if you are using Movable Type as your Weblog system, there are a ton of tips and insights for you on Brainstorms and Raves.
