Couldn't these results be skewed because Nginx is often used as a reverse proxy? If there is Apache or something custom behind Nginx it will show up as Nginx I guess. I do not see this issue adressed and it might cause significant skew if you look at the top websites (since they will more often deploy these kinds of tricks)

I'll take the downvotes as a "no we didn't, and we think you are trying to be funny". But, I actually did read that for a half a second and think the phrase "broken down" can be done without. It doesn't add anything in my opinion, I know it is broken down (its a graph), the phrase is unnecessary, and it caused me at least to stumble mentally for half an instant.
Hypothetically, a company like Hyperspin could create a chart of webservers that were offline (most likely to break) in the past X days. I think the results would be interesting. Example: Out of 1,234 servers that were offline for > 1 hour in the last month, 40% Microsoft, 30% Apache, 20% NginX, etc.
i note postfix usurped sendmail much faster.
sendmail was genuinely terrible: monolithic, unused, uninstallable attack vectors everywhere (echoes of openssl), near-binary configuration which required learning a complex macro language. Even Sendmail X bears more resemblance to Postfix than it does to Sendmail 9.

I assume the too-shy-to-reply downvoter thinks downtime is not a direct correlation to a problem with the webserver. While that's true, I was hoping to argue that the stack chosen is indicative of deeper problems such as stack complexity. A too-complex stack is more prone to break, which is part of the appeal of NginX, its simplicity. You could also prove Microsoft stacks are more or less likely to fail. For example…
I can only imagine what these people are like in real life. I suppose aggression is necessary part of the human condition and that saddens me. But... hey, if it makes one feel powerful to down vote, go ahead. Personally I find it cowardly unless the person can take a second to explain why but whatever.... (Exceptions made for blatant cases of trolling and drop dead stupid comments of which yours was not one... and I appreciate the support. Thanks. PS. fellow UF alum! Looks like I graduated the year you started.).

Go Gators ;-) As long as we're off on a tangent, this made me realize downvotes here are (pretty much) anonymous, but comments are not. I think it would be interesting if anonymous notes could be attached to downvotes. It would also be interesting if those anonymous notes were either public or private. So hypothetically, if you had 10 downvotes, you could hover that and read why people downvoted. Another approach (I…
