Although November brought yet another peak in the number of responses received, the top-four players, Apache, Microsoft (which includes Microsoft-Internet-Information-Server, Microsoft-IIS, Microsoft-IIS-W, Microsoft-PWS-95, and Microsoft-PWS), Sun (which includes SunONE, iPlanet-Enterprise, Netscape-Enterprise, Netscape-FastTrack, Netscape-Commerce, Netscape-Communications, Netsite-Commerce, and Netsite-Communications), and Zeus again remained flat, seeing growth of -0.15 percent, 0.16 percent, 0.10 percent, -0.03 percent, respectively.
Of the sites surveyed, 28,397,201, or 50.61 percent, had .com domains; 3,376,144, or about 6.02 percent, had .uk domains.
