Apr, 2003 : Netcraft Releases April Web Server Survey

📅 April 14, 2003 - Internet research organization Netcraft Inc. (netcraft.com) released the results of its April Web Server Survey this week, indicating some of the big differences in the platform building business, as well as some changes in the systems running at certain notable locations.

According to Netcraft, the number of sites running the yet-to-be-released Windows Server 2003 has overtaken the number of sites running Sun's Solaris 9 platform, which launched in May of 2002. Sun, says Netcraft, seems to take a more relaxed approach to promoting new operating system versions, as even sun.com is still running Solaris 8. Microsoft appears to be at the other end of that particular spectrum, as microsoft.com started running Windows 2003 last July.
Netcraft also reports that a number of notable Netscape-Enterprise sites appear to have switched to operating Apache-based servers, including sites for the Vatican, Kellogg's and NASA. Kellogg's also appears to have reassumed the site management responsibilities it had outsourced to IBM.
NASA is now running something called "NASA_Webserver/2003 (NASA) mod_jk/1.2.1-beta-1," which Netcraft expects is a locally modified Apache running behind a Novell ICS reverse proxy server. In contrast to Kellogg's, NASA appears to have moved the site from its own network to AT&T.
