`
`According to the latest numbers, there are more than 162 million websltes on the Internet
`today. We have come a long way since the first baby steps of the World Wide Web. Back
`in January of 1996 we had 100,000 websltes, and If we go back to mid-1993 there were
`only a total of 130 websltes. Not much need far Goa& in those days._
`
`So how has the number of websltes grown over time? Here Is how we got from 1 to 162
`million websites:

`
`The early growth Is difficult to see in the graph, so here is a table showing how long it
`took before the web grew to 100,000 websltes:

`Hey, Pingdom could have monitored the uptime of the entire World Wide Web back then!
`
`THE WORLD'S FIRST WEBSITE
`
`Wonder about that one, single website back in December of 1990? That was info.cern.ch,
`
`the first-ever website and web server, created by Tim Berners-Lee (inventor of the WWW).
`
`It's amazing how the web has gone from consisting of just this first little web page to the
`
`huge network of millions and millions of websites that it is today, and how pervasive the
`
`web has become in our society. We do our banking online, read our news online, have our
`
`encyclopedias online, meet friends online. And all this has happened since 1990.
`
`NOTES ON THE NUMBERS
`
`The definition of what counts as a website varies, but the numbers here are hostnames
`
`connected to sites that respond. The numbers from Netcraft (August 1995 and onward)
`
`include parked pages as well, so it is larger than the number of "active" websites.
`
`Some of the data was taken from Hobbes' Internet Timeline and then complemented with
`
`Netcraft data.
