| Microsoft gains almost 2 million sites this month, primarily as a
   result of [1]register.com and [2]Network Solutions migrating their
   domain parking facilities to a Windows front end.
   Network Solutions has been running part of its domain parking system
   on Windows for some time, and has been moving progressively more of
   its sites from a Solaris Netscape-Enterprise system at [3]Digex to a
   Windows based system at [4]Interland. Several hundred thousand sites
   seem to have moved to this [5]system this month, and the drop in
   Netscape-Enterprise is largely a result of this. Ironically, many of
   the sites were hacked a few days later, Newsbytes [6]reports.    register.com seems to be partway through a migration to Windows.
   Presently, the bulk of the page content is still served from
   [7]Linux, with a Windows platform serving framesets referencing the
   Linux based page content as on this example [8]site. |
