I wonder how accurate this is in some ways. Yes, Nginx is powering the web, but what about all those corporate servers behind firewalls running (custom) .NET or Java apps. Those aren't measured at all.
I think IIS in many ways is a different market...
- jroseattle 15y agoVery good observation. Netcraft is not measuring internal corporate servers. It can only measure what it can reach -- publicly accessible domains. Would be interesting to know just how many of those exist.
- marshray 15y agoIt would also be interesting to know how many of those IIS sites are just companies Outlook Web Access and MS Terminal Services gateways. Lots of things will serve you some HTML over port 80 that aren't what we think of as "web sites".
- jeffreymcmanus 15y agoYes -- the vast majority of IIS implementations are run behind corporate firewalls -- they won't show up in surveys like this. These stats don't show web server popularity, they show the popularity of public web servers.
- joelhaasnoot 15y agoEven public is debatable, many web application servers or servers requiring accounts likely won't be hit. The percentage of all HTTP requests that are to servers they measure will likely be pretty low.
