Netcraft announced the overcoming of the historical milestone: the other day the number of sites on the Internet has
exceeded 100 million . True, regularly update the content a little less than half of all.
Netcraft analysts believe that the explosive growth in the number of web resources that has occurred over the past two years is caused by the fact that the Internet has begun to be actively exploited by bloggers who have been given every opportunity to organize a simple website magazine. Another reason is the opportunity to earn on parked domains using contextual advertising.
Netcraft began monitoring in August 1995. At that time, the Internet consisted of 18,957 hosts, and the most popular web servers were NCSA (57%), CERN (19%) and a new product called Apache (3.5%).
