Internet Growth - 1985 through 2008

6 March 2009
Full chart showing growth curve. Note that no discernable growth begins until mid-1990s. Note the only recorded negative time between 2001 and 2002 following the dot-com bubble bursting. Note also that there are over 216 million website names that are currently registered. However, the vast majority of them are parked at their registrar (a site like GoDaddy.com). Only around 77 million are actively hosted and would respond with their own content if attempted.
