The phrase "World-Wide Web" is often used to refer to the collective network of servers speaking HTTP as well as the global body of information available using the protocol. In a May 1996 survey Netcraft found 193,150 servers on the Web (and who knows how many more exist behind corporate firewalls?).
A Web client (or browser) sends requests to a Web server.
Every retrievable piece of information on the Web is identified by a URL, which includes the name of the object, where it is located, and the protocol used to get it.
Only information on a server (or your local system) is part of the Web. You need to "publish it" (i.e. put it on a Web server) to make it accessible.
The Web server is responsible for document storage and retrieval. It sends the document requested (or an error message) back to the requesting client.
The client interprets and presents the document. The client is responsible for document presentation.
The language that Web clients and servers use to communicate with each other is called the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). All Web clients and servers must be able to speak HTTP in order to send and receive hypermedia documents. For this reason, Web servers are often called HTTP servers, or HTTP Deaemons (HTTPD).
There are many different Web servers, running on many platforms. For the latest information on servers, check out serverwatch.internet.com. Paul Hoffman maintains a survey of Web Server usage, and a WWW Servers Comparison Chart, and there is the Netcraft Web Server Survey at http://www.netcraft.co.uk/survey/
Total Sites Across All Domains August 1995 - October 2007
A big increase in sites from 96 to now.. That is millions..
Quote:
In the October 2007 survey we received responses from 142,805,398 sites, an increase of 7.6 million sites since last month. This continues the strong gains seen last month, a rate of over 5% monthly growth, with MySpace, Microsoft Live.com, and Googles Blogger each gained over 1 million sites this month. Benefitting from the gains at MySpace and Microsoft Live, Microsoft-IIS now hosts over 50 million sites.
Market Share for Top Servers Across All Domains August 1995 - October 2007
Apache going down while others are growing. Still apache remains on top clearly..
Quote:
Apache loses 2.8% share this month, partly through the strong growth at the major blogging systems, and partly due to 2.5 million domains on Apache expiring at trouble-free.net. Apache has around a 10% market share advantage over IIS now, which is the smallest gap between the two since IIS was launched in 1996.
On the active sites measure which excludes templated sites, Apache gains 1 million sites this month, though this is eclipsed by growth of nearer 3 million for Microsoft-IIS.
