Wondering what servers the big tech sites run? Wonder no more!

Have you ever wondered what web, database and network servers some of the biggest new tech sites are running? What about their network connectivity and admin passwords?

Pingdom, a web site monitoring service, contacted the companies below and put together a pretty great report. You can download the report here or check out their full blog entry.

The companies in the report (plus my comments) are:

• Meebo – more than 40 web servers
• YouSendIt – three database servers
• Alexaholic – only one tested using IIS web servers
• TechCrunch – admin password is rosebud
• FeedBurner – 70 web servers
• iStockPhoto – uses Akamai for DNS
• Vimeo – 2 MySQL Databases
