Ok i just typed random numbers, im hungry! :confused: Haze 09-23-2002, 06:43 AM Funny you should ask, I just completed a round of counting. The final number: 9.5 hosts currently exist on the internet. ThomasC 09-23-2002, 06:45 AM 9.5 hmm 9.500? 9.5000? Also how did you count them? Darth 09-23-2002, 07:37 AM Millions..

LOL ThomasC 09-23-2002, 09:41 AM Off topic... but still... Always two there are. A master and a apprentice... No more, no less. Respect the Yoda quote!! flitcher 09-23-2002, 10:01 AM I think the real question is how many established hosts exist? By established I mean online for a reasonable amount of time (not just a couple months), have a positive cash flow (or atleast nearing towards a positive flow), a credible amount of satisfied customers and anything else that would deem a company as being established. My guess is <1000 of these exist.
