`
`September 2012 Web Server Survey
`
`In the September 2012 survey we received responses from 620,132,319 sites, a decrease of 8M sites since last
`month's survey.
`
`A large portion of this drop was caused by a large network of linkfarmed domains disappearing from under the
`.com TLD, causing Apache numbers to suffer the most, with a loss of 10M sites. This resulted in a small drop in
`Apache's market share to 58%. Google also saw losses of 1M sites, but both Microsoft and nginx gained, with 840k
`and 1.5M new domains respectively.
`
`Server headers for IIS 8.0 – the latest version of Microsoft's server software – were returned by 1,723 sites this
`month. This is an increase of 1,445 sites (+519%) over the six months since the public beta release of Windows
`Server 2012 in April, which uses IIS 8.0 as its default web server. However, only twelve of the million busiest sites
`were found to be using the software, seven of which are within Microsoft's own iis.net.
`
`Amazon reached a significant milestone this month, with its strong and continued growth in the web hosting
`market now making it the world's largest hosting location by number of web-facing computers. The previous
`leader was China Telecom, which now has 116k web-facing computers against Amazon's 118k.
`
`Netcraft's hosting provider server count uses a set of heuristics to identify individual computers, regardless of how
`many web-facing IP addresses each may have, or how many websites they serve.

`
`
`
`Amazon has nearly doubled its count of web-facing computers within the past year, and this growth does not look
`set to slow down any time soon. The majority of these computers are located in the US (77%) and Ireland (13%),
`although smaller numbers of servers have started popping up in other locations within the past year, including the
`Netherlands, Singapore, Brazil, and Japan.
`
`Although Amazon has the largest number of web-facing computers, these are used to host a relatively modest sum
`of 6.8M websites. 2.9M of these sites are served by nginx, which is closely followed by 2.3M served by Apache. A
`further 410k are served by Polyvore Web Server, which is used by sites within the Polyvore fashion social-
`commerce network. Only 2.4% (163k) of the sites hosted at Amazon are running Microsoft IIS.
`
`Although Amazon's scalable, pay-as-you-go EC2 service supports Microsoft Windows, Linux is by far the most
`popular operating system to be found amongst all of its web-facing computers, including those used by CloudFront
`and S3. Nearly 97% of Amazon's web-facing computers were running Linux during September's survey.
