The Apache HTTP Server Project Does It Again — The World’s #1 Web Server Tops Linux Journal’s Reader’s Choice Awards

Not only does the Apache HTTP Server power more than 106 million Websites worldwide, an astounding 89% of Linux Journal readers have chosen the “competitor-less” Apache HTTP Server as their favorite Web server, according to the 2009 Reader’s Choice Awards.

We were tickled to read, “As with last year, the thought arises in Favorite Web Server category of whether we should just ask ‘Do you use the Apache Web server, yes or no?’ and leave it at that.” According to Associate Publisher Mark Irgang, “Apache is always in there.”

Congratulations to the Apache HTTP Server Project for more than 16 years of technical excellence!
