Dear All, below is the hostcount for January 2002. The table shows an increase since last month of over 760,000 (or 4,9%) to a total of almost 16,415,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe and surrounding areas. The es domain shows the highest increase for January with approximately 549,256 hosts more than in December. Background information and more statistics are available at http://www.ripe.net/hostcount/ - Brief Notes on this Hostcount - The December, 2001 data for bf, cf, dj, ir, ne and om was reused since no new collection could be done in January for those domains due to AXFR blocks and unreachable nameservers. - Credits - I would like to thank all people who help me to create the hostcount every month by running a local count: ad Joan Marc Lauga am Hrant Dadivanyan at Gerhard Winkler be DNS-BE Registration Office ch Marcel Schneider cy Vasoula Papapetrou cz Jiri Orsag de Peter Koch dk Morten Christensen eg EUN Hostcount Admin es Fco.
