What Technology Is That Website Using?

Curious what server technologies your shared or dedicated host is using? Maybe you just want to know whether your top competitor uses Apache or IIS. There have always been ways to find out such details including installable programs like SamSpade, but few tools bring so much information together as web site BuiltWith.com. BuiltWith.com is a web application that lets you find interesting tidbits about a site such as what analytics and tracking software a site is using, what technology framework the site runs on (PHP, ASP, etc…), HTML elements the site uses (CSS, Javascript, etc…), server software (Apache, IIS), server OS, server security, and server host. Beyond the raw data, BuiltWith also shows you how many of the top 5000 sites are using the same technology and gives an overall rating based on technology utilization. So if you don’t know what your own site runs or if you want to know what the other guy is using, check out BuiltWith.com.
