July 7, 2004 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — According to Port 80 Software’s (port80software.com) June Web server survey, Microsoft runs on over half of the top 1000 corporate Web sites.
The results of the survey indicate that 53.9 percent of the sites run on Microsoft IIS while 20.3 percent run on Apache and 14.6 percent on Netscape. The remaining 11.2 percent run on various other platforms, including Sun One, Lotus Domino, Weblogic, Webphere, IBM and Zeus.
Port 80 said that looking at the year to date, the overall market share of major Web server platforms has demonstrated only modest change. The company did note that Apache has gained a significant 4 percent market share, but added that much of the increase was due to a slight change in its methodology. Microsoft IIS 6 has shown the greatest growth of any single platform version, Port 80 said, going from 0.5 percent to 5.5 percent in just one year.
Port 80′s survey uses the Web sites of the fortune 1000, a data sample it argues has more relevance for business decision makers. In contrast, Netcraft’s (netcraft.com) Web server survey measures Web server software usage on all Internet connected computers. Its latest survey found that Apache held 67.35 percent of total market share while Microsoft came in at 21.32 percent.
