If I read it correctly there are about 250 million active sites (roughly). It seems unlikely that they are all massive corporate sites.

As an aside, the idea that systemd is a good thing is hilarious to me at the least because it is so brash about making an important change to a huge chunk of the system. Yes the bugs will eventually get ironed out, but in the meantime? Count me out! I have work to do and am not interested in being a free tester for Redhat on my live systems.

I'm pretty sure that counts (eg) each wordpress.com subdomain as a separate website. [1] counts like that and gives a roughly comparable number.

That gives a lot of economy scales.

The link I included states that those are unique hostnames. Perhaps they are including subdomains on the same ip address, but you might note that rather than quoting the 1 billion sites, I reduced that by their estimated 25% being actually active. Additionally they state that there are on average 3 users per site in 2014. Maybe that doesn't mean anything, but as a rough estimate that all implies far more small sites than large ones.
