Microsoft Internet Information Services slightly edges out the open-source Apache Web server in the percentage of the 1,000 highest-traffic sites that run each Web server, a new survey finds.
The survey by Port80 Software checked the Web server software running the 1,000 sites with the highest Internet traffic, as ranked by Nielsen//NetRatings. It found IIS with 43.1 percent, Apache with 39.7 percent and Netscape Enterprise with 8.7 percent. Port80 Software, an ISV that makes IIS performance and security tools, released the results of its survey on Wednesday.
