Netcraft attempts to counterbalance their sampling bias, but these qualifications are not highlighted by Netcraft or most media reports on their survey.
Also, Netcraft's survey methodology acknowledges that their method of reducing the number of parked domains leaves in place a sampling bias in favor of "the cheap or free bulk hosters" (http://www.netcraft.com/survey/index-200007.html).
Finally, Netcraft also conducts an SSL Web site survey, which might be expected to provide market share data more relevant to e-business decision makers, but they do not generally highlight the results of that survey or provide them for free (http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2003/04/09/netcraft_ssl_survey.html).

 Netcraft: 5,600 Phishing Sites Since December - Spamfo
Netcraft has tracked and blocked 5,600 known phishing sites since the December launch of its anti-phishing toolbar, which it has now updated with a risk rating feature that warns users about new sites with phishy characteristics, based on trends observed in known phishing scams.

Netcraft is now making available the list of phishing sites reported by the Toolbar community and validated by Netcraft as a continuously updated feed suitable for ISPs, hosting companies, enterprises, and other companies that operate mail servers and web proxies, or network monitoring systems.

Netcraft has developed a service for banks and other financial organizations to track occurrences of their name, brands, trademarks and slogans on the Internet.
The service helps companies identify sites which may be trying to construct frauds, identity theft and phishing attacks by pretending to be the bank, or are implying that the site has a relationship with the bank when in fact there is none.
Through the Netcraft Web Server Survey, we have hostname & domain names for over 60 million web sites, and the front page content for over 25 million sites, and can check each of these for the occurrence of the bank's domains, trademarks and commonly used phrases.

Further, these policies ensure that the losing registrar is given the right to protect the security of a customer registration by denying a request to transfer a domain name in the event that the losing registrar has a reason to believe that the authenticity of the transfer request is in question.
The real story is that the folks at Netcraft have been fooled into stooging for a former monopolist that has sacrificed customer service in favor of protecting its dwindling market share under the guise of "security".
The Slashdot crowd, obviously more enamored with Netcraft's glowing reports about Apache market share than they are with Netcraft's ability to credibly report fact, have swallowed this NSI driven propaganda hook, line and sinker.

 TechWeb | News | Phishers Turn To DNS Wildcards, Cache Poisoning | Mar. 8, 2005   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Phishers are using ever-more-sophisticated tactics, including DNS wildcards and DNS cache poisoning--the latter dubbed "pharming"--to separate consumers from their money, a British security firm said Tuesday.
According to Netcraft, criminals are now using DSN wildcards and URL encoding to create e-mail links that appear to be for legitimate sites, but actually send unwary consumers to fake Web sites, where phishers try to steal confidential information, such as bank or credit account numbers.
Another advanced technique that has seen some use by phishers is DNS cache poisoning, a way to silently redirect users from real sites to spoofed copies, where dangerous spyware is loaded onto their systems.

 Netcraft: Windows Servers Dominate the Web
In the past, Netcraft had awarded Apache the top spot in its monthly surveys by a wide margin because the research company simply measured Web sites, many of which are colocated at ISPs and hosting companies.
As some of the 3 percent of computers not identified by the Netcraft operating-system detector will in reality be Windows systems, despite some uncertainty due to the survey's error margins, it would be fair to say half of public Web Servers worldwide are run on Microsoft operating systems.
Netcraft also noted that Linux, with 30 percent of the market, is the second most popular Web server platform after Windows, but with a twist.

Netcraft said the change was mainly due to the shift of the domain name parking services of Register.com and Network Solutions from Linux and iPlanet to Microsoft software.
Netcraft also found that many sites using SSL encryption--a common form of security used on e-commerce sites--use cryptographic keys that are short enough to be vulnerable to hackers.
This is a lingering effect of tight U.S. restrictions on the export of cryptographic tools, according to Netcraft.
