July 12, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web analytics firm Netcraft (netcraft.com) announced the results of its July 2007 survey, which received responses from 125,626,329 sites, an increase of 3.62 million sites from the June survey.
Recent trends were consistent this month, with the Internet's strong growth continuing apace and Microsoft making additional inroads into Apache's leadership in web server market share. The Web has grown by 20.4 million sites this year, trailing the growth rate from 2006, when the survey added an astonishing 30.9 million sites.
Microsoft adds 2.4 million sites this month, bringing the total number of Windows servers-run sites over 40 million, and boosting Microsoft's market share from 1.01 percent to 32.8 percent. The open source Apache server has increased by 556k, and has slightly decreased by 1.11 percent to 52.65 percent. Meanwhile, Google gains 592k sites with a 4.35 percent market share.
In active sites, Apache is now at 49.98 percent share, less than 14.5 percent ahead of Microsoft. While that's still a considerable lead, Apache had a 33.4 percent advantage at this time last July, meaning Microsoft has cut its deficit in half in the past 12 months.
Sun is the sum of sites running SunONE, iPlanet-Enterprise, Netscape-Enterprise, Netscape-FastTrack, Netscape-Commerce, Netscape-Communications, Netsite-Commerce & Netsite-Communications. Microsoft is the sum of sites running Microsoft-Internet-Information-Server, Microsoft-IIS, Microsoft-IIS-W, Microsoft-PWS-95, & Microsoft-PWS.

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next. In recent months we've been giving added attention to the kind of practical and applicable advice aimed at smaller hosts and resellers. This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered. The basic constraints of a printed magazine, and the less-than-infinite amount of time we had available forced us to face the fact that we could never produce an exhaustive guide to starting a hosting company.
