Anchor44 began as a straightforward exercise in cataloguing the web — recording active sites by category and making the list available for anyone to browse. The directory draws its name from the idea of an anchor point: a stable, findable reference in an otherwise shifting online landscape. Today, Anchor44 maintains a record of 837 listed sites organised across 22 sections, ranging from finance and healthcare to travel and the arts. Every entry in the directory has been submitted by the site's operator and checked before inclusion. The record is kept current as new entries are approved and added. Anchor44 does not rank its entries or apply editorial opinions about the quality of listed sites. The directory is a factual log — each entry noted by domain, category, and the brief description provided by the submitting operator. This approach makes Anchor44 a consistent and transparent reference rather than a curated ranking. The submission process is open and free. Any operator with an active website can submit a URL through the Add Your Site form. Submissions are reviewed before appearing in the record, and the directory holds one entry per domain. Anchor44 serves browsers who want to locate sites by category, operators who want their address noted in a stable directory, and researchers who treat directory listings as a useful census of the web. The record is available without registration; browsing costs nothing. The directory is a running chronicle, updated as new entries are approved.
