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.
