I've today received the latest statistic numbers from Netcraft and E-Soft Inc. and updated http://www.modssl.org/news/statistic.html for us. Here are the tables of this webpage: | * Netcraft Survey for Apache+mod_ssl: | | Apache mod_ssl | Month Domains Market Share Domains IP-Addr. Apache Share | 199906 3471051 56.19% 101176 48127 2.91% | 199907 3713470 56.28% 113591 52262 3.06% | 199908 3928112 55.50% 137071 58165 3.49% | 199909 4078326 55.33% 152402 59863 3.74% | 199910 4348932 53.59% 368295 87791 8.47% | | * E-Soft Inc. Survey for Apache+mod_ssl: | | Apache mod_ssl | Month Domains Market Share Domains Apache Share | 199906 833689 53.49% 21550 2.59% | 199907 850286 53.63% 24744 2.91% | 199908 886152 54.08% 27758 3.13% | 199909 927941 54.26% 31898 3.43% | 199910 1004773 55.32% 58881 5.88% As you can see the Apache share of mod_ssl grew dramatically the last month (E-Soft Inc. calculated the growth to 45%). I'm not sure what the actual reason is (beside general popularity of the module). But I guess it is related to the fact that lots of websites now finally upgraded to Apache 1.3.9 and by this chance also decided to now put an SSL solution into the server, too. At least this time (as E-Soft Inc's details also show) the growth of mod_ssl was not directly related to a corresponding shrink at the Ben-SSL side (Ben-SSL also grew, although a lot less). OTOH the latest mod_ssl numbers cannot be totally wrong, because _both_ companies detected such a larger growth of mod_ssl for the last month. So I've to conclude that at least some interesting evolution for mod_ssl currently takes place.... ;) Yours, Ralf S.
