Just thought of something...

It might be that Netcraft caches values on server software lookups.  Try the
following from a shell:

$ telnet www.yourdomain.com 80

after it replies:
  Connected to www.yourdomain.com (1.2.3.4).
  Escape character is '^]'.

Type:
  GET / HTTP/1.0
  <return>
  <return>

The two returns above are important.

You'll see the raw source to your site printed out.  Scroll up to the
headers of the output and check the "Server:" response there.

To make things easier, use "GET /x HTTP/1.0", substitute "x" for something
else if you by chance have a file called "x" hanging around on your site.
This will produce a shorter "404" response from the web server.
