Netcraft: IIS now serves 50 Million Hostnames!

I was going through some data on IIS webservers today and came across Netcraft, which is a website that gives monthly statistical data on webservers from different companies and some other interesting stuff. Not sure if this data can be taken official or not but what really excited me was the number of hostnames that were running on IIS.

Microsoft Web Server has hit the BIG number of 50 Million hostnames from which Netcraft has recieved response. Now, yes, I know what you must be thinking. We all have Intranet websites that run any of the web server technologies that might be listed out there. Those are not coming into account in this. A reason that could be considerate enough not to get this data on a sales pitch ... :)

Nevertheless, 50 Million hostnames is a huge number for anyone.

Just to keep in spirit of this achievement I am now planning some informative articles on the latest and most powerful extensions that can be plugged in IIS 7.x

Have Fun!

PS: If any one can get me a link to an official statistical data for IIS, I would be more than happy to link to it.
