There is no exact answer to this question. For one thing, a good definition of a web site is hard to pin down; a reasonable definition might be "a fully qualified domain name, such as www.example.com, which delivers unique or mostly unique content." This rules out, for instance, alternate names for the same site that always fetch exactly the same pages. Large web sites can have many thousands of pages. Dynamically generated sites can have a seemingly infinite number -- but Google is smart enough to stop short of analyzing the same site forever. Yet most sites just have a few pages introducing a business or a person, or simply a placeholder home page. My personal experience, coupled with rumors of a survey finding that 35 million distinct top level domains existed in December, 2003, leads me to suggest that an average site has roughly 100 unique pages. Dividing Google's figure of 4.28 billion by 100 gives us roughly 43 million sites. But this figure is only a very crude estimate. The web is growing all the time, no one is in charge, and by the time you've counted a tiny fraction of it, many sites have come and gone.

Theres really no way of actually measuring the amount of web sites on the internet but as of last year the most acurate estimate was about 750 million pages with thousands or more pages being added every hour.

Since they are being created all the time, it is not possible pinpoint an exact number of sites on the Internet at any one time.
However, there are usually around 10 or more sites for each subject online, so if you want answers, buy goods, play games, book a holiday, etc., it's all here for you.

well, there are many websites. more than 5 trillion. there are so many combinations of websites. each country has its own website type (us, bg, etc.) there is NO way u can count them. even if u tried, then u will NEVER get them all. there are also subdomains and websites with backslashes.
