Parked Domains, not market share gains. Way to Go...Daddy!
.
The world's largest domain registrar, GoDaddy.com, moved its 4.5 MILLION parked domains from Linux+Apache to Windows+IIS in March 2006 (1). That's why it appears Apache lost ground to IIS. Just like the rest of the Web, the vast majority of GoDaddy web servers that actually serve real websites run Linux+Apache (2).
"...Our business is based on providing the best possible service at the lowest possible price. This strategy requires us to maximize all of our resources, particularly our technology assets. It was clear from all of the testing we?ve conducted that Microsoft provides an efficient and scalable operating platform, while also providing the performance needed to handle our extraordinary growth..." --- Warren Adelman, GoDaddy.com president and COO.
Why are some executives so completely full of sh*t?
Translation: GoDaddy got a big donation from Microsoft. Way to Go...Daddy!
I hear that Microsoft Windows+IIS is an EXCELLENT platform for completely inactive websites!
