At world wide web There are many unique domains which are "hosted". However, only the 0,06% of these are active.
ΛGiven that the World Wide Web, as we used to call it, started with about 10 sites in 1992, it is fair to say that the web has seen explosive growth.
According to his data Internet Live Stats, quantified here on a graph by our partners at The report of Statista, from August 19, 2019 at 10 p.m. Central European time, there were 1.71 billion websites. This is an extreme number, exceeding 2,4 million sites in 1998 or 17,1 million in 2000 (which the old ones once called Y2K).
For this search, the definition of "Website" is: A uniquely named website, which can be resolved to an IP address using an Internet name server.
The first time cyberspace reached one billion websites was in September 2014, just five years ago. Then he fell and returned to his glory in 2016.
To see a little "ups and downs". Falls occurred after 2009 and 2012. It is difficult to say why. The last "dive" was in 2017 to 2018. Last year there was a total number of Websites, which reached 1,76 billion, giving 2017 a record time. Even bigger than the current number of about 50 million websites.
We noticed the release of some big branded websites, like the launch of Yahoo in '94, when the web could actually be indexed in hand-coded HTML pages, before we even knew what a "search engine" was.
The arrival of Google in 1998 "fixed this problem". That was just 21 years ago. Google is big enough to get a driver's license, but not to control the world. Facebook, launched in 2004, is just a teenager…
