In the September 2011 survey we received responses from 485,173,671 sites, a growth of nearly 4.8% (just over 22M hostnames) compared to last month.
Apache servers saw the largest growth this month (roughly 14M new hostnames), taking its total to over 315M, yet it continued to lose market share. Apache now serves twice as many hostnames as this time last year.
Nearly a quarter of this growth comes from new sites seen at Softlayer. By the end of the year, Softlayer’s global network will include points of presence (PoPs) and data centers throughout Europe and Asia, with the goal of bringing Softlayer’s network within 40ms of everyone on the planet. Both BurstNet and AmeriNOC also saw growths of over a million hostnames.
