Web Server Survey by IP Address
November 1st, 2017
Web server surveys have been around for a long time. One of the problems
with running a survey is how to produce meaningful results given the
number of choices with the collection and reporting methodologies.
Some examples:
- How does one treat wildcarded DNS sites that generate unlimited
number of unique hostnames, all residing on the same system?
- How does one treat taste-testing web sites that do not have any
unique content on them at all?
- If very large number of web sites reside on a single IP address,
is it a a case of search engine spamming, a large number of low traffic
web sites on a single platform, or a web hosting facility using
load-redirection for a large number of legitimate web sites?
- How "greedy" or aggressive should the hunt for new web sites be?
All of the above are issues that our conventional web server survey deals
with. The biggest issue that comes up time and again, however, is the
fact that our conventional survey counts unique hostnames, not unique
installations. This can seriously impact market share statistics. Case
in point: the data set used both web server survey reports
contains (for the last month's data set)
75,834,468 hostnames, but only
5,476,927 distinct IP addresses.
This particular report addresses this in part by counting unique IP addresses
in an attempt at answering the question of how many installations of a
particular server might exist. By using the IP address as a proxy for the
physical hardware on which a server is running, we still need to be aware
that it is not a perfect 1 to 1 mapping:
- A load balanced network of servers might share a single public
facing IP address, and be undercounted.
- A single server may have multiple public IP addresses bound to one
or more network cards on the system, and thus still be counted more than
once.
While not a perfect solution, we feel that counting web servers by IP
will give a much closer view of the number of server installs for a given
technology.

Note: Readers are cautioned that the Growth percentages are based on
a server's market share penetration rather than the absolute number of
servers we detected. Thus, it is possible for the number of servers to
increase, while the growth is actually a negative value.
