Thanks Mike. This month see a 1.75 million increase in the number of sites found by the survey. There is a large increase in Europe, particularly in Germany, where Apache is extremely strong, and in Denmark. Additionally, the survey found significant numbers of new sites using the .biz and .info domains.
Somewhat offsetting this, several large US based bulk hosters and domain registration businesses are seeing declines in sites. In particular, the decline in sites running Netscape-Enterprise is substantially due to a reduction in sites hosted on a system run by Verisign at Digex. Around 100,000 sites seem to have been moved to another system controlled by Verisign running Microsoft-IIS at Interland with a further 150,000 small sites lapsed.
