Does anybody know a source for the latest data on number of web servers on the Internet. The last number I have is from Matthew Gray's page -- his Web Wanderer counted 230,000 in June. Does anyone know where I could find more recent data? http://www.genmagic.com/Internet/Trends has some interesting data from a few months ago.

I wonder if we can host all this off a cable modem? See http://www.dnshosting.com/index.html It would save a hell of a lot!

ought to...you just need a ppp connection, right?

The system, based upon equipment from Nortel Networks and called NetSentry, is intended to secure users' PCs from "spoofing" attacks, in which hackers can gain access to files or commandeer the PC for other uses due to its always-on connection. NetSentry will be available immediately, except in Southern California where it will debut later this year. http://1.digital.cnet.com/cgi-bin1/flo?y=eui0BxpGy0t0D3sG Web Services Tip of the Week: Build a better Web site with these 4 downloads Building a Web site can be a daunting task.
