Netcraft Survey has indicated that 2005 has been the strongest year ever for Internet growth. The web has added 17.5 million sites. This is 1.5 million more than during “during the height of the dot-com boom in 2000”.

Netcraft conducted the survey in October 2005 and received responses from 74,409,971 sites. This is an increase of 2.68 million sites from the September survey.

Netcraft’s report on servers:

“This month also saw movement in web server market share for the first time in many months, with Windows servers gaining 0.75 percent market share in active sites, while Apache’s share fell by 0.67 percent.

Apache continues to maintain a large lead in both active sites and hostnames, and in fact improved its share by 0.74 percent in hostnames. With this month’s growth, Apache now powers more than 50 million sites.” [source]
