September 2, 2004 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Apache maintained its lead in Web server market share, gaining 0.15 percent, according to Netcraft’s (netcraft.com) September Web server survey. The market share gains represented a gain of approximately 800,000 hostnames.
Microsoft lost some ground again, dropping 0.07 market share, according to the survey. SunOne and Zeus also lost ground, losing 0.07 and 0.02 percent market share respectively.
According to Netcraft, Microsoft’s share of the Web server market remains relatively steady despite a significant security event that transpired in June, which affected sites running Microsoft IIS 5.0 and Windows 2000. The incident, Netcraft said, appears to have spurred upgrades to the Windows Server 2000 and 2003 platforms rather than moves towards Apache.
Since November of 2003, the Web server market has been relatively stable, with the market shares of Microsoft and Apache showing no dramatic change.
