Netcraft's April 2022 global Web server survey report has been released. This report can help people understand the number of global websites and server market share.

For this survey, Netcraft received responses from 1,160,964,134 sites, involving 271,960,629 unique domains and 11,974,636 Web-facing computers. This reflects a loss of 8.66 million sites and 217,000 domains, but an increase of 97,400 computers.

Among the top ten vendors, nginx acquired the largest number of domains and computers this month, maintaining its lead in both metrics. The net growth of its 537,000 domains brings its total number of domains to 73.8 million and increases its market share in this metric to 27.1%. Combined with the net loss of 573,000 domains powered by Apache , this ultimately resulted in nginx's market share lead over Apache expanding from 3.63 percentage points to 4.04 percentage points.

OpenResty is the main provider with the most websites this month, with its total number increasing by 1.47 million to 93 million ( 1.61%), it also gained 6,890 Web-facing computers.

While most top providers lost active sites this month, Pepyaka saw a significant increase of 1.22 million active sites ( 27.6%). This server is primarily used by the Wix web development platform, which switched from using nginx in 2018. It is currently the 8th most used web server by active websites and the 11th most used website. The similarity in version numbers since 2018 suggests that Pepyaka may be based on the mainline version of nginx.
