The Open Source Apache web server project is celebrating their 10th birthday today. Apache is by far the dominant web server on the Internet, with approximately 69% of the worlds domain names hosted on Apache based servers. This translates to about 40 million websites hosted on the Open Source Apache. The closest competitor to Apache is Microsoft IIS with around 28% of the web server market. Congratulations to the Apache team for helping to make the Internet free and open for all. Here’s hoping for another successful 10 years.
