  1. Your data is invalid. That is, unless you are counting every little word press blog Joe schmo has set up. Check this out in terms of the largest hosts and while you’ll find php is incredibly popular, it does not power over 80 percent of all websites hosted by said host. Supporting other environs wouldn’t even make sense from a business perspective if that were true. Your datasource is also known to be the least reliable in terms of browser usage.
