How many web-sites do you reckon there are??????

[BRL]

Just going on from reading that pprune is the 12057th most popular web-site, how many web-sites do you think are out there? Does anyone know officially or something like that, how would one be able to find out?

Sprocket Many thanks for that. By some weird co-incidence, a mate at work asked me the other day if i had the page that has the end on it. (I emailed it to him about 6 months ago but forgotten the addy) I think it was a different one but very simmilar.
So, back to the question. Am i reading it right that there are just over 162 million web sites knocking about? (and probably a few more every day.)
Thats astonishing if its true.......!!!!!!

162 million plus the half-dozen or so that ORAC doesn't know about.

Big Red - I have 67 (sixty seven) in my "favourites" list - and I'm sure that it is not all there is.

I think it would be safe to assume that there are indeed more than seventy!! (Quite a lot isn't it!!)

How many websites...

The figures at http://www.isc.org/ds/host-count-history.html are an estimate of the number of connected hosts.

The most reliable number of websites is generally regarded as being given by the Netcraft Survey at http://www.netcraft.com/survey/
