Microsoft-IIS/5.1 sighted, Commerce Server released
There was a first sighting of Microsoft-IIS/5.1 which is the web
server for the Microsoft Whistler [1]release this month. The most
significant deployment has been as part of a load balanced set of
sites at [2]intel.com. However, Intel still mainly runs
Microsoft-IIS/4.0 and the Whistler servers meet only a small
percentage of the requests to intel.com.
Also this month, [3]Microsoft Commerce Server was [4]released.
Commerce Server's predecessor, SiteServer was widely adopted and is
one of the key reasons for NT's widespread use as an ecommerce
platform. Currently Microsoft-IIS runs just under half the sites
performing encrypted transactions on the internet and is continuing to
grow.
DellHost launch in Europe, PSI at risk
Currently, the dedicated server business is the most dynamic arena
within the web services market, with market leaders such as [5]Verio,
[6]Rackspace and [7]Interland typically increasing the number of
machines they host by a factor of five over the last year. Arguably,
the company that the market leaders fear most is Dell, which is an
order of magnitude of bigger, and enjoys vertical integration
economies through its position as a leading PC manufacturer. This
month Dell launched in the [8]UK. Emphasising the geographical
flexibility of the dedicated server market where customers rarely, if
at all, visit their machines in person, dellhost.co.uk is located in
Paris, while the machines are sold through a telesales center located
in Ireland. Round trip times to dellhost.co.uk from networks in the UK
are typically about 50% higher than response times from well known UK
hosting locations, such as [9]Demon Internet though still very
respectable at around 50ms.
One company that may have overexpanded is [10]PSI. Although PSI is one
of the largest ISPs in the world, its stock price has [11]fallen to a
recent level of $1 from a high of $60, and it reportedly has debts of
around [12]$2.5billion. PSI [13]customers are being courted with
competitive offers by much of the rest of the industry.
Baltimore & register.com form partnership to sell SSL certificates
[14]Baltimore, who bought Certificate Authority [15]Cybertrust in
January, have announced a [16]partnership to sell certificates to
[17]register.com's 3 million domain name customers, and thereby
challenge the [18]Verisign / [19]Network Solutions domination of the
SSL market. Historically, Cybertrust's share of the internet SSL
certificate market has been inconsequential, but partnering with the
most successful of the new domain name registrars will undoubtedly
make a considerable difference. In the first four months of this year
register.com reached around 17% of new domain registrations from a
standing start on January 1st. However, over two thirds of
register.com's domains are parked and not in active use by their
owners, and there is unlikely to be demand for SSL certificates from
these domain owners in the short term.
