  Around the Net
  
   Last month's [1]analysis of SSL topology drew comments from sources
   including [2]news.com and and a wide range of questions from
   users of the site. Several people commented that they had expected
   that Linux would by now be well established as a platform for secure
   transactions.
   
   The answer is that technology preferences can vary quite widely from
   country to country, even for quite specific functions such as
   ecommerce. Linux is the most widely used operating system for SSL
   transactions in Japan, and also Germany, where it overtook Microsoft
   in June 2000.
   
   However, Microsoft leads strongly in English speaking countries, with
   around 55% share in each of the US & the UK.
   
   English speaking countries make up the lion's share of secure servers,
   with around 75% of ecommerce sites registered in the US, UK, Canada,
   and Australia.
   
 Dedicated server companies make inroads into CoLo market
    
   Another striking feature of SSL Servers is their changing location.
   Although [3]Exodus and [4]Digex are the leading locations for SSL
   Sites, dedicated server companies including [5]Interland, [6]Verio,
   [7]Innerhost, [8]Data Return, [9]Interliant, are now also strongly
   represented. The convinience and cost effectiveness of the dedicated
   server companies, seems to be gaining share to the determine of the
   first generation colocation companies.
