Netcraft has been publishing since February of 2003 and has given us a good indication of who is hosting the most sites and which is the preferred hosting software. Can you guess how many sites are out there?

Is that anywhere close to the total population of the world?

 

[alyoshka]

Nah!!! I think we'll see a population of sites equal to the actual worlds population within the next 10 years though.

I wonder if this is just the surface web websites included in this number.

Recent news says that world population is at 7 billion, that, 7,000,000,000.

[mavroxur]

Netcraft's latest survey revealed 525,998,433 sites in total. However, not all of them are activy

I assume the guy meant "Active"

I'd think 100,000 of those sites or registered domains are owned by chinese gold sellers, trying to steal MMORPG accounts.

Interesting to see that there are less active web sites than there are facebook pages...

Also, that number obviously do not take the deep web into account.

I used my lucky # 5 as usual to guess. I was a bit off.

Usenet 100Mbps down. No up. SSL. Never hit my cap. Don't understand why people use torrents so much. People getting sued for copyright. I know people constantly getting warning from there IP's. I know one guy pulling his hair out trying to use proxies so he does not get caught. People who think they are slick downloading from work. And the people who think they are in the know for using torrents.
