In the June 2023 survey, we received responses from 1,106,671,903 sites across 255,487,423 domains and 12,106,503 computers with web access. This reflects a loss of 2.7 million sites, 16.0 million domains and an increase of 69,309 computers with Internet access.
Microsoft saw the biggest gain of 8.7 million sites this month, with minor gains of 211,862 domains (+3.03%) and 1,003 computers (+0.08%). Microsoft now represents 3.12% of sites (+0.79 pp) and 2.82% of domains (+0.24 pp) viewed by Netcraft.
Cloudflare and OpenResty also saw significant growth this month, with Cloudflare gaining 4.8 million sites (+4.22%) and 35,435 domains (+0.14%), and OpenResty gaining 5.2 million sites (+ 6.01%) and 1.3 million domains (+3.30%). .
nginx experienced the largest loss of 19.5 million sites (-6.79%) and 16.1 million domains (-22.07%) this month. The loss was primarily due to the loss of 27.2 million sites running nginx on Freenom-managed top-level domains (.cf, .ga, .gq, .ml, and .tk). Freenom halted domain registrations earlier this year, after Meta filed a lawsuit against Freenom, accusing it of failing to take adequate steps to respond to abuse reports. nginx now represents 24.2% of sites (-1.70pp) and 22.3% of domains (-4.63pp) viewed by Netcraft.
Despite a loss of 474,070 domains (-0.80%), Apache now accounts for 23.04% of domains (+1.19 pp) seen by Netcraft, surpassing nginx to rank first in this metric by First time since March 2020.
Within the top 1 million sites, Cloudflare, nginx, and Apache all experienced small losses in market share. Cloudflare’s market share is now 22.05% (-0.02 pp), nginx 21.08% (-0.10 pp) and Apache 20.96% (-0.20 pp). Amazon and Varnish experienced the largest growth in the top million sites, gaining 3,859 and 2,101 sites respectively, taking their market shares to 1.68% (+0.39 pp) and 0.44% (+0.21 pp ).
.ga TLD returned to Gabonese management
.ga, the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Gabon, has been returned to the Gabon administration under ANINF, the National Agency for Digital Infrastructure and Frequencies of the Republic of Gabon. The ANINF made the decision due to the “bankruptcy of the Freenom company”, the previous record.
The technical migration was carried out between June 4 and 7, with the assistance of Afnic, the Network Information Center of France. According to ANINF’s estimate, there are currently more than 7 million domain names registered under .ga. However, Freenom has not provided data on “several million” of these domain names. Afnic stated that these would be removed as part of the migration.
In this month’s survey, we saw 1.03 million web-facing domain names within the .ga TLD, a decrease of 80.6% compared to 5.30 million domain names in May.
