March 2001 Security Space Survey Results

Security Space's Web Server Survey confirms that Apache is still the Internet's most popular server software, with Microsoft's IIS a strong second. The newest versions of IIS and Apache are not yet the most popular.

The Security Space Web Server Survey is a survey of Web server software usage on the Internet broken down by 86 domains. Security Space estimates that even though there are almost 20 million Web sites, nearly 90 percent are "orphans" to which no other sites link. Security Space's Web server survey includes only those servers referenced on other sites.

More than 2.5 million Web sites responded to the March 2001 survey.
