Netcraft: Web Server Survey - Apache gains over a million sites in a month, reaches 60%

[ Thanks to hap for this link. ]

"Apache reached 60% of the sites found by this month's survey, a second consecutive all time high, with a gain of close to 1.4m million sites. This has coincided with the announcement of the first alpha release of Apache/2.0 The new version has some notable features including support for threads, which will likely provide a significant improvement in performance for some applications. Although there are already some sites running Apache/2.0-dev, the Apache core team are suggesting that the alpha release is for people interested in actively contributing to the project, while people that want a working www server should continue to use the 1.3 series, and indeed are following this advice themselves."
