Can Microsoft IIS catch up with Apache?

Netcraft The latest August 2007 statistics show that the Apache server share has fallen to 48.4%, while Microsoft IIS has risen to 36.2%, the gap between the two sides is very small, and according to the line chart, the decline of Apache is still apparent, and at the highest period of history, Apache once occupied a 73.81% absolute advantage.

Microsoft is not proud of Netcraft's data, they believe that market share is not the most important, it is important that a good product can be continuously improved and accepted by everyone, IIS 6.0 is such a product, Its higher security and reliability has made Microsoft's notorious vulnerability server one of half its own.

Notably, Netcraft's data began to compute the blogger site, which means Google will also join the original oligopoly model between IIS and Apache, with Google raising data to 4.4% in a few months, a menacing one. Google, though apparently one-sided to free software, does not use Apache.

Apache actually has more ways to get a share, such as a blogger hosting host, but all this can only deceive Netcraft data.

The world's average of 5.5 domain names to point to a ip,netcraft data is based on the domain name, so to fix a server with a large number of domain name of the Web services software is to deal with a large number of market share, so some people think that the Netcraft data is not credible.
