November 7, 2005 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — The Apache Web server upped its market share yet again, crossing the 70 percent threshold last month, according to research firm Netcraft’s (netcraft.com) November Web server survey.
Apache extended its share from 69.89 to 70.98 percent. Microsoft dropped from 20.55 to 20.24 percent. Sun and Zeus One lost 0.02 and 0.01 percentage points respectively.
Netcraft’s survey measures Web server software use on all Internet connected computers. The November survey received responses from 74,572,794 sites, marking an increase of 181,000 hostnames over last month. It was the smallest monthly increase since January 2004.
According to Netcraft, the small increase can be attributed to France’s enom allowing 810,000 .info names hosted on Windows Server 2003 to expire. In September 2004, an enom affiliate registered one million .info domains in a week and offered them to customers owning similar names in .com.
