Use Cases
The internet research we collect allows you to make informed decisions about sales, marketing, expansion and investment in the hosting, CA and web technology marketplaces.
Internet Data
Using our unique methodologies we’ve been collecting internet data since 1995, allowing for long term trends to be observed and analysis to be generated.
Interactive Datasets
Interact with the data through our web portal. Drilldown and filter results in a variety of ways including by country, TLD and popularity. Visualise as a table or chart, or export to integrate into your data analysis workflow.
Hosts, Domains & IPs
Our monthly Web Server Survey collects the hostnames, domains and IPs of each site and attributes them to a hosting location based on reverse DNS and IP delegation
Web-facing Computers
We have developed a technique for identifying which IP addresses belong to individual computers and what Operating System they are running, based on low-level TCP/IP characteristics
Web Technologies
Thousands of technology signatures split across over 50 technology groups (eg ecommerce, CMS and CDN platforms) are applied to the frontpages of each site we survey
Certificates & HTTPS
We’ve been tracking SSL since 1996 by connecting to HTTPS servers and collecting certificates
Site Popularity
The million busiest sites are determined by the number of visits from users of the Netcraft extensions and apps
Malicious Activity
The number of active phishing attacks blocked by Netcraft at each hosting location, and the median response time to abuse requests
Corporate Information
Allow for easy contact of discovered hosting companies and infrastructure providers with contact details of executives including LinkedIn profiles, email addresses and more
