- Netcraft’s hostnames and active-site counts share a timeline with Nasdaq closes, but the page says the two scales share nothing else.
Field notes
The five surges are plotted in actual years, with turning points attributed to Carlota Perez’s cited tables; the current turning point is labeled “2001–???,” and the chart extends it to 2026. Netcraft’s “active sites” series begins in June 2000, and the page flags its derived totals as calculated from published Apache counts and shares. Monthly hostnames are shown separately.
