Netcraft's web server survey shows nginx at only 20%, and shows Apache dropping below 50% way back in August 2013. That's a big difference compared to w3techs and both sources should be taken with a pinch of salt.

It's the 3rd chart on: https://news.netcraft.com/archives/2017/03/24/march-2017-web...

Web server market share depends a lot on which sites you're looking at: are you checking the top X million sites or checking every site you can possibly find out about? And also how you're deduplicating them: is every blogspot blog counted separately?

Disclaimer: I work at Netcraft (but not on the survey).

So, literally, Netcraft confirms Apache is dying.

For "dying" being defined as "increases installs but slower than the whole market balloons".

"while only powering about half the world"

You must be new to the Internet.

Yeah, if I recall correctly there are a whole bunch of those "parked" domains that get included sometimes - so if you count based on domain and not just on IP you'll get vastly different results.

In terms of server usage not based on websites, Shodan sees Apache with significantly more deployments than nginx:

- Apache httpd: 11,877,702 - nginx: 4,759,439 - Microsoft IIS httpd: 3,872,974
