Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Microsoft IIS and Apache Tomcat?
Microsoft IIS is a web server (Microsoft Internet Information Services), while Apache Tomcat is a web server (Java servlet container and web server). Both are Server technologies, so they are often considered alternatives.
Can a website use both Microsoft IIS and Apache Tomcat?
Yes. Tech Stack Detector detects each technology independently when you scan a site, so a single page can report both Microsoft IIS and Apache Tomcat when both are present.
