web growth As the Web increased in popularity, many traditional databases and services established websites to provide access to their content. The line between the Web and the Internet became increasingly blurred.
1991: 1 web server, 4 web pages. By the end of the year, there were 10 web servers. 1992: 50 websites on 26 web servers. 1993: At the beginning of the year, there were 130 websites on 50 servers. By the end of the year, there were 623 websites on 200 servers. 1994: 10,000 websites. 1995: 23,500 websites. 1996: 603,367 websites. 1997: 1 million websites. 1998: 4 million websites. 1999: 10 million websites.
web & internet issues The late 1990s brought some new problems. They included viruses, fraudulent websites, an increase in the amount of spam (junk e-mail) and copyright infringement issues, especially regarding the sharing of music. The presence of pornographic websites and online sexual predators gave parents cause for concern during this time, as well.

How do they define sites?
Every time we make a thread, there's another site technically.
