Around 1.4 billion
Background
There are around 1.4 billion websites worldwide (as of February 2026). That's according to the monthly Netcraft count. Only about 208 million of them are actually active, though. The rest are parked domains, spam sites or unused subpages. For comparison: in 1995, there were just 23,500 websites. About 700,000 new sites are added every day today.
