Powered By lighttpd¶

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. Please include traffic (requests/s) details.

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 you 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
