Web reaches new milestone: 100 million sites

November 2, 2006

Highlights:

• The Web now has 100 million sites
• There were 18,000 Web sites in August of 1995
• Web sites have become a way to bond and belong

“There are now 100 million Web sites with domain names and content on them,” said Netcraft’s Rich Miller.

Bloggers, small businesses, and simplicity have combined to create the dramatic growth of sites, much of it just in the past two years.

Netcraft uses the domain name system to identify Web sites, check how many of them are in a particular location, such as what operating system and Web server software they’re running, and then publishes its information in a monthly report.

There were just 18,000 Web sites when Netcraft, based in Bath, England, began keeping track in August of 1995. It took until May of 2004 to reach the 50 million milestone; then only 30 more months to hit 100 million, late in the month of October 2006.

Netcraft says the United States, Germany, China, South Korea and Japan show the greatest Web site growing spurts.

Today there are seemingly endless Web sites for shopping, social networking, and, of course, sleaze.

    Think of us as the friends who are always forwarding you links to cool sites you’d never find on your own. That’s who we aim to be with this list of 99 Undiscovered Web Sites, and that’s who you’ll be after reading it.

    The following list is made up of sites that are still flying under the radar, but are useful, funny, or interesting enough to merit entrée into the Web’s public consciousness.

    Obviously, you’ve probably heard of at least some of these sites before, and some have thousands of registered users. But we’re betting that most of them will be new to a majority of our readers. If you’ve heard of some of these, consider yourself an active Netizen. If you’re already familiar with all of them, please send us your resume because you are truly the master.
