JimF Posted October 1, 2001 Share Posted October 1, 2001 Windows leads worldwide WEB OS server market share with 50%, Linux has 30% > http://netcraft.com/survey/ > > Microsoft Windows has a significantly higher share of the web when one counts by computer, rather > than by host, as in the conventional Web Server Survey. The survey shows 49.6% of the computers > running the web are Windows based. As some of the 3% of computers not identified by the Netcraft > operating system detector will in reality be Windows systems, despite some uncertainty due to the > survey's error margins, it would be fair to say half of public Web Servers world-wide are run on > Microsoft operating systems. Although Apache runs more sites than Windows, Apache is heavily > deployed at hosting companies and ISPs who strive to run as many sites as possible on a single > computer to save costs. Windows is most popular with end-user and self hosted sites, where the host > to computer ratio is much smaller. > > Linux is the second most commonly used operating system. Linux has been consistently gaining share > since our analysis started, but interestingly not significantly to Windows detriment. Operating > systems which have lost share have been Solaris and other proprietary operating systems, and to a > smaller degree BSD operating systems. > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
