How many countries are linked on the World Wide Web?

Welcome to Global Web Explorer!
Remote spots you can link to NOW

You have linked with a server located in the Bailiwick of Guernsey, English Channel Islands.  Congratulations if this is a new country for you!

How many countries are linked on the World Wide Web?  That's a question without an easy answer, for in some cases servers are not where they might seem to be.  So here, on this page, is a chance for you to find out for yourself just how many different countries you can link with.

To become a Global Web Explorer just follow this page and start country-hunting!

Africa Kingdom of Swaziland
Mbabane Internet Café
Antarctica Mawson Base
[Server is in Australia]
Asia Mongolia
Europe Svalbard
Spitzbergen,
Norwegian Arctic islands
North America Greenland
Oceania Kingdom of Tonga
Pacific Ocean
South America Falkland Islands

Did your computer really connect itself all the way to that server in Mongolia?

The answer is probably yes!   However, if you are using a proxy server at your Internet Service Provider (ISP), or if you are using a browser (eg Lynx) hosted at your ISP's site, there would not have been a continuous internet protocol (IP) connection from your machine all along the route.  Otherwise, yes there really was a connection made from your computer to those remote places!  It will be seen, however, that in some other cases servers are not physically located where they might seem to be.

This page seeks every country to which a direct connection can be made.
