Web logs fuel Net growth
Internet Daily via Frank Barnako, MarketWatch: "Netcraft, a United Kingdom-based Internet research and analytics company, said its latest tally of Website host names showed a gain of 2.76 million addresses in July from last month. The total number of Websites identified by the company was 67.5 million.The company attributed the growth to factors including the increasing use of Websites by small businesses, the growth of Web logs and their publishers' purchasing domains for branding, and strong sales of online advertising which are prompting speculators to register names they think may have value for buyers.
'The Internet has added 10.7 million host names in the first seven months of the year,' Netcraft said in a statement. 'Barring a dramatic slowdown, 2005 should easily exceed the record growth of 16 million host names in 2000.'"
