Folks, below the RIPE DNS Hostcount for September 1994. - some people aksed why CS has shows less hosts every month, but that is of course because the CS domain has been split into SK and CZ and slowyly moving everything away from CS. - this months increase is a nice 53,000 or 6.8% to 888,000. This brings the increase for the past quarter to 16.8%. - historical overview appended below - all output and more detailed explanation of method of counting and the various columns below on ftp.ripe.net:ripe/hostcount. -Marten RIPE DNS Hostcount Previous Count : Wed Aug 31 1994 This Count : Fri Sep 30 1994 CY SOA COUNTED DUPL REAL CHANGE ============================================================ al 2 0 0 0 0 at 459 24162 834 23328 + 1307 az 1 0 0 0 0 be 189 14623 233 14390 + 1110 bg 14 112 20 92 + 9 by 1 0 0 0 0 ch 331 53379 408 52971 + 2734 cs 20 1267 48 1219 - 605 cy 9 46 4 42 + 2 cz 128 7025 36 6989 - 592 de 2372 175885 5331 170554 +10540 dk 270 14519 479 14040 + 1251 dz 2 8 0 8 + 8 ee 40 997 4 993 + 249 eg 4 135 0 135 + 135 es 402 22643 185 22458 + 714 fi 475 60052 1106 58946 + 6569 fo 1 0 0 0 0 fr 991 78780 1085 77695 + 2829 gb 1 24 0 24 + 1 ge 1 0 0 0 0 gr 165 3507 221 3286 + 281 hr 72 1004 15 989 + 148 hu 89 6200 36 6164 + 162 ie 79 3985 69 3916 + 396 il 168 9276 164 9112 + 1318 is 72 3769 36 3733 + 332 it 656 27578 609 26969 + 1526 li 4 30 3 27 0 lt 10 84 0 84 + 19 lu 22 452 2 450 + 13 lv 17 235 2 233 + 22 ma 1 0 0 0 0 mk 1 0 0 0 0 mt 1 0 0 0 0 nl 651 75861 2059 73802 + 4764 no 671 43651 905 42746 + 2476 pl 324 7764 304 7460 + 461 pt 150 4875 87 4788 + 124 ro 17 429 30 399 + 2 ru 101 1094 110 984 + 275 se 853 64996 1536 63460 + 3912 si 45 1270 30 1240 + 53 sk 69 1159 14 1145 + 29 su 238 4237 246 3991 + 270 tn 3 49 4 45 - 1 tr 56 1894 37 1857 + 173 ua 53 451 49 402 + 38 uk 2184 206728 19496 187232 +10399 va 0 0 0 0 0 yu 3 0 0 0 0 ============================================================ 12488 924235 35837 888398 +53453 This is an overview of the History of the RIPE hostcounts. It only contains the totals. The totals for 1990-1991 should be considered rather unstable and unreliable because the program used then was not really tuned, plus the count was not done as regular as it is now. Count : total hostcount for all European top level domains Delta : delta since previous count Delta % : delta as percentage of previous count Q Delta : delta over the past quarter Q Delta%: delta over last quarter as percentage of end of last quarter count For the Q Deltas I have not calculated those back before 1992, because the figures for 1990-1991 are not too reliable. *) Dec 1991 hostcount estimated at 135,000.
