Old news in is new news?
Why did J.D. “Illiad” Frazer publish a comic about news I posted two months ago? Why did /.—read “Slashdot” for the not-so-geek among us—chose to publish this user submission on the same topic?
The topic: GoDaddy.com choses IIS for parked domains.
Old news in is new again I guess when we see that GoDaddy’s earlier move settled into the statistics engine at Netcraft. A close look shows March spiked, April was flat, and May spiked again, the former and latter both at the expense of Apache.
I suppose if you’re a lover of all things Redmond this is good news. But the deeper reality is in the numbers of Apache servers over IIS servers in Fortune 500 back offices. I’ll counter the Microsoft shills with those numbers over unused, parked, domain numbers any day.
