The results of the Netcraft survey are in for December 2008.

With responses coming back from 186,727,854 sites, with Apache hosting showing the largest gains at 2.47 million, although a good number of these are .pl sites, many are simply redirects, The planet.com is responsible for over half of this growth.

Since Yahoo has uncloaked its traffic server, the results now indicate some 1.68 million web sites appearing on the YTS. The YTS has always been known to run Yahoo services only, so we must assume that they are all Yahoo sites.

With a worldwide market share of a staggering 1.8%, nginx has shown this months 3rd largest rise, swelling its share by over 10%, nginx now boasts 3.35 million websites.

From active sites, the loser turned out to be Google, showing a downturn of 0.47% this could be attributed to Googles strict housekeeping policies. With Apache holding nearly half the market share, it was no surprise to see them top of the leaderboard, with Microsoft just behind at 33.21%, although they dropped slightly in the developers class.
