What is Microsoft running on?

Did You Know?

Problem: Ever wondered what Web Server or operating systems companies are running? Is Microsoft running Apache? Ok ok that is truly a LOL moment. What about Unix? How about OpenText?

Solution: Go to news.netcraft.com.

 Here you can see statistics on web hosting sites, such as:

Their movement to Microsoft.

The number of websites.

The most reliable web hosting sites

And much more.

In the top left-hand corner of the page you will see ‘What’s that site running?”

Type www.microsoft.com and press ENTER.

The page that is displayed shows the site background, network, hosting history, and much more.

In the Hosting History section you can see the Web Server that Microsoft uses (Microsoft-IIS/8.0).

Go to the top of the page and type in www.unix.org.

The page displayed shows that the unix.org site runs Apache on Linux.

Feel free to type in your other favorite sites such as www.opentext.com and view the site information.

Enjoy.
