`There are over 1 billion websites on the world wide web today. This milestone was first
`
`reached in September of 2014, as confirmed by NetCraft in its October 2014 Web Server
`
`Survey and first estimated and announced by Internet Live Stats (see the tweet
`

`the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee). The number had subsequently declined,
`
`reverting back to a level below 1 billion (due to the monthly fluctuations in the count of
`
`inactive websites) before reaching again and stabilizing above the 1 billion mark
`
`starting in March of 2016. From 1 website in 1991 to 1 billion in 2014, the chart and table
`
`below show the total number of websites by year throughout history:
`
`By "Website" we mean unique hostname (a name which can be resolved, using a
`
`name server, into an IP Address).
`
`It must be noted that around 75% of websites today are not active, but parked domains
`
`[1]
`or similar.

`
`Periodic drops in the total count can depend on various factors, including an
`
`improvement in NetCraft's handling of wildcard hostnames. For example, in August
`
`2012, over 40 million hostnames on only 242 IP addresses were removed from the
`
`Survey.
`
`Curious facts
`
`• The first-ever website (info.cern.ch)
`
`(http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html) was published on August 6,
`
`[2]
`1991 by British physicist Tim Berners-Lee while at CERN, in Switzerland. On April
`
`30, 1993 CERN made World Wide Web ("W3" for short) technology available on a
`
`royalty-free basis to the public domain, allowing the Web to flourish.
`[3]
`
`• The World Wide Web was invented in March of 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee (see the
`
`original proposal (http://www.w3.org/History/1989/proposal.html)). He also
`
`introduced the first web server, the first browser and editor (the
`
`“WorldWideWeb.app

`
`the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and, in October 1990, the first version of
`
`the "HyperText Markup Language" (HTML).
`[4]
`
`• In 2013 alone, the web has grown by more than one third: from about 630 million
`
`websites at the start of the year to over 850 million by December 2013 (of which
`
`180 million were active).
`
`• Over 50% of websites today are hosted on either Apache or nginx, both open
`
`[5]
`source web servers. As of June 2014, Microsoft has got very close to Apache in
`
`terms of market share (only a 0.15% difference separates the two). If the trend
`
`continues, Microsoft could soon become the leading web server developer for the
`
`first time in history.
