Learn About a Website (and Similar Ones) via serversiders.com

How popular is a given website? What web site Domains are similar in size to the one you are interested in? What web site Domains are linked to the web site?

The answers are easily out there. Merely go to http://serversiders.com and enter the website you are interested in. Here is an example. After reading below, try it on your own. This could be very useful whether you are working for a company and want to see what products your competitor's are using, you want to invest, or you just want to learn more about the web.

For example, today, (May 14 2010), searching for the Oracle.com web site yields this partial list of information:

"Oracle.com is the 810:th largest site within .COM. The programming language used on the site is Java and the main language used for the site's textual content is English. Oracle is using the javascript library Prototype. The server that hosts oracle.com is located in Englewood, United States. The server is located on the NTT America, Inc network.

Webserver: Oracle-Application-Server-11g Oracle-Web-Cache-11g/11.1.1.2.0 That's a good sign: They are using their own product (11G) to host their site as opposed to a competitor's product.
