May 6, 2003 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Netcraft (netcraft.com) today released the findings of its most recent Web Server Survey. The monthly survey covers Web server software usage on Internet connected computers for the month of May, and featured results based on an aggregate pool of 40,444,778 sites.
According to the findings of the survey, Apache (apache.org) and Microsoft (microsoft.com) remain at the head of the Web server software pack. The percentage of Web servers running Apache dipped slightly from 62.57 percent to 62.53 percent between April and May. A corresponding drop was found for Microsoft servers, with the percentages going from 27.45 to 27.17.
The survey found that there were already thousands of Web sites running on Windows Server 2003 platforms even before its official release. The reason behind this was the Windows Server 2003 beta program, which allowed vendors to test the platform before its official launch.
The three providers with the largest number of sites hosted on Windows Server 2003 all share status as Microsoft Certified partners, with the fourth largest provider being Microsoft itself. In terms of total sites hosted, the numbers are as follows: Interland (interland.com) ? 4996 sites, Schlund (schlund.de) ? 3125 sites, Fasthosts (fasthosts.co.uk) ? 2250 sites and Microsoft ? 811 sites. Interland and Schlund are hosting 144,488 and 1,450,868 sites on Linux platforms respectively.
Netcraft is an Internet services company based in Bath, England.

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.
