Nginx overtook Microsoft IIS and came in second place on active sites

In the latest Netcraft statistics for January 2012 , a remarkable event occurred: the nginx web server finally overtook Microsoft IIS and came in second place on the Internet among active sites (that is, sites with unique content that were not made using templates).

Developer	December 2011	Share	January 2012	Share	Change
Apache	102 005 032	58.21%	105 684 049	57.93%	-0,28
nginx	20 342 324	11.61%	22,221,514	12.18%	0.57
Microsoft	21,572,870	12.31%	22,114,114	12.14%	-0.17
Google	14,240,979	8.13%	14,412,926	7.90%	-0.23

It is noteworthy that in this statistics all the main competitors have lost their positions, and only nginx added compared to December 2011.

Nginx is still inferior to Microsoft IIS according to general statistics, that is, without filtering by active domains. But here, too, the Russian web server was the only one among the leaders who increased its share in January 2012.
