million sites. It is, however, lower than the nearly 36.7 million
responses received in last January’s survey.

“As usual, Apache, Microsoft, Zeus, and SunONE (formerly
referred to as iPlanet in the survey) remained the key players with
shares of 62.23 percent, 27.49 percent, 2.08 percent, and 1.33

rankings of the previous month, with only Apache increasing its
market share (by a mere 0.21 percent). Microsoft’s, Zeus’ and
SunONE’s market shares remained flat.

“NT-specific servers accounted for 27.72 percent of servers
surveyed, representing yet another decrease from the previous
month’s 27.81 percent. Apache-specific servers accounted for 63.68
percent, an increase from December’s 63.51 percent.
Macintosh-specific servers again decreased slightly to 0.29
percent…”
