The number of websites continued to grow at a rapid pace in September. Netcraft reports that there are now more than 504 million active hostnames (active and inactive websites).
The net gained about 3.8% or about 18 million new hostnames, which now stand at 504,082,040 sites, according to Netcraft. Apache remains the most popular web server and is now home to more than 326 million host names. Netcraft said that the server added more than 10 million new hostnames, but lost about 86,000 active websites and about 1.09% market share as a result. Apache is estimated to be the foundation of currently about 99.9 million active websites.
Microsoft IIS added about 600,000 new active sites in September and now hosts just over 21.1 million sites. Nginx was the winner of the month and gained just over 1.6 million active sites to a total of 19.1 million destinations. Google is fourth with a total of 13.8 million hosted sites. The four largest platforms host a total of 153.9 million active websites.
