Despite financial struggles in the telecoms, hosting and domain registration businesses, says Netcraft, many of the metrics measured in the Web server survey grew during 2002. During the year, the number of hostnames responding to the survey fell by over a million, but many of those sites were parked domains and template-produced sites at advertising-supported mass hosting companies. Verisign, register.com and homestead.com collectively lost more than 3 million such sites in 2002, says Netcraft.
According to the survey, the Web became more geographically disparate in 2002, with an increase of 4.1 million host in Europe and Asia-Pacific compensating for the loss of 5.3 million hostnames in the US. Hosting facilities in the rest of the world have caught up with those in the US, says Netcraft, with companies located in well-developed overseas economies repatriating their sites.
The number of active sites, says Netcraft, grew 17.66 percent from January to December, indicating that conventional Web is still expanding. And the number of SSL sites is up by 14 percent. Most notably, says Netcraft, the number of sites using some sort of scripting language on their front pages has increased by more than half. The most common scripting languages, ASP and PHP, have each seen significant increases in deployment as businesses build more sophisticated sites. | Reads: 1067 | Category: General | Source: TheWHIR : Web Host Industry Reviews
