Netcraft counted 582 million websites by early January.

Analytical company Netcraft, which regularly monitors and analyzes various data relating to the life of the Network, counted the number of sites operating at the beginning of January 2012. It turned out that the number of sites increased up to 582.7 million. In just one month, the number of websites working on the Network increased by almost 5% (4.9%, to be exact).

Of course, the market share for the most popular web servers has also changed somewhat. Apache is steadily increasing its popularity; in a month, 16 million hosts started to work on the basis of this web server. True, numerical growth is not a guarantee of market growth for Apache, this figure has dropped by about 0.3%, which, in principle, is insignificant.

Microsoft's web server became the basis for an additional 1.8 million hosts, while the market share of this product also remained unchanged. But Nginx has already captured 9.63% of the web server market. By January 1, 6.9 million more hosts started to work on the basis of this web server.

As for Google, the product of the “corporation of good” also slowly shows an increase of 2.4%.
