    WoW, this is an amazing stats here, Shanker. Well, the biggest different between the stock markets and amount of websites is the total number of websites/blogs will never move in a downward direction like stock markets are…

  2. It is interesting to see how the number of hostnames is rising at a large pace in comparison to the rise of active sites. This makes sense as active sites have to be run by individuals that are putting effort out. The rise in the number of active sites appears to have lowered in growth intensity as the population of the internet starts to pan out across the globe.
