Not convinced. I've tried it on accucard.com, and it claims there
are 12 other sites hosted. In actual fact, there are varying numbers
of sites, depending on how you count it:

	4 named virtual hosts on the same IP address
	21 virtual hosts in the same address block
	5 actual sites[1] to which the above 21 virtual hosts are mapped

None of those numbers are 12. They're obviously guessing, but I'm
not sure what criteria they're using for their estimate...

[1] In actual fact, from a business perspective there are 6, but one's
    implemented as a subdirectory of one of the others.
