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.
