Whoa! Great news, but what's that thing with AOLServer and Poland? Does 
anyone know?

Thanks for the heads-up, Mark!  I haven't paid attention Netcraft's
web server surveys lately, but it's great that they mentioned us.

It's stupid, but we could game the Netcraft survey pretty easily:

1) Become an ICANN accredited registrar.
2) Offer cheap domain registration.
3) Offer free domain parking/static web page hosting (great for domain
   tasters) all on AOLserver.

Suppose, in a few years, we could accumulate a few million domain
registrations, all parked on AOLserver.  We could push ahead in the
Netcraft surveys--like all those useless placeholder Apache sites.

As an aside, congratulation to all those folks in Poland who are doing
all that web hosting on AOLserver!  Well done!

That is what mydomain.com did. I wrote the backend, but the frontend was a 
single adp page. Eventually M$ paid the owners a huge sum to move the 
frontend to a more complicated IIS setup. Suddenly M$ had lots more domains.

AOLserver has been bouncing around the 80k mark for over a year, just six 
months ago:
http://survey.netcraft.com/Reports/200707/

I noticed that most domains are in the 'other' category:
com  3055  3.63% 
net  1251  1.48% 
uk  103  0.12% 
br  7  0.01% 
is  6  0.01% 
Other  79828  94.75%

At any rate, it is consistently above Zope and near Lotus Domino.
