Netcraft's records of the total sites across all domains from Aug 1995 to Nov 2009.
(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web analytics firm Netcraft (www.netcraft.com) announced on Tuesday it has revealed the results of its November 2009 survey, which received responses from 233,636,281 sites.
This signals a small increase from last month's Web survey, which had responses from 230,443,449 sites.
The largest share growth this month comes from nginx, which saw a 1.1 million increase again this month bringing its total up to 15 million.
Nginx continues to see significant growth, gaining 3.5 million sites over the past three months.
The developer has already matched leader Apache for growth, and has greatly surpassed Microsoft's 200,000 increase.
This month, open source version control system Subversion has formally submitted itself to The Apache Software Foundation's Incubator.
Each project makes substantial use of the other, as Subversion uses Apache to make repositories available over the WebDAV/DeltaV protocol and Apache uses Subversion for versioning of the source code.
Apache continues to lead with 108,078,535 sites and 46.90 percent of the developer's share, Microsoft had 49,723,999 sites and 21.58 percent share, qq.com with 30,069,136 sites and 13.05 percent share, nginx 13,813,997 sites and 5.99 percent share, Google with 13,819,947 sites and 6.00 percent share, and lighttpd 1,020,227 sites and 0.44 percent share.

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.
