According to Netcraft, 21% of the sites on the public Internet run Apache: https://news.netcraft.com/archives/2017/07/20/july-2017-web-server-survey.html https://news.netcraft.com/archives/2017/07/20/july-2017-web-... There are lots of legit reasons to run Apache: - it works like a champ - it's widely known - it's got a big ecosystem (plugins, etc.) - it has a fairly complete WebDAV implementation - it's widely supported TL;DR "legacy" sometimes means "good" and not just "old."

Yeah, right. It's also still prone to slowloris and you can take down a shared hosting server with a laptop in a coffee store. In this case legacy is either "I don't know anything else", "well it worked so far" or "meh".

  Apache has mod_reqtimeout which mitigates the slowloris-attack. It's been a while, but in my tests that worked pretty well.

  This is your second comment that mentions slowloris. You know slowloris isn't specific to Apache, right?

    I know.
