Here are some sites that are using lighttpd to serve millions of pages every day. If you run such a site, feel free to add it. Include traffic and hardware details if you so desire.

Please follow a few rules when you add your site:
.
  • you have to control the site or have to have the permission of the owner to name it here.
  • include the req/s or req/day your get and put yourself into the corresponding category.
  • add yourself in alphabetic order based on the domain name (without www.).
  • don't disguise your server-tag, say yes to lighty! :-)
  • do NOT make it sound like advertising, keep it technical
