Rationale

Rationale |
| Reliability |
Netcraft is the definitive source for web server surveys. The data is comprehensive and methodology is well-documented. |
| Relevance |
Directly answers the query about web server market share in mid-2001. |
| Bias flags |
ApacheToday as a publication has inherent framing bias toward Apache. However, the underlying Netcraft data is objective. The measurement bias concern relates to the hostname vs. physical server distinction discussed in The Register's analysis. |
