Dear All, below is the hostcount for January 1999. The table shows an increase since last month of around 330,000 hosts (or 4,2%) to a total of almost exactly 8,200,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe and surrounding areas. The fr domain shows the highest increase for January with approximately 112,000 hosts more than in December. - More Information - More detailed information on the hostcount can be found at http://www.ripe.net/statistics/hostcount/ The translation of the country codes can be found at ftp://ftp.ripe.net/iso3166-countrycodes - Brief Notes on this Hostcount - The increase for fr is quite noteworthy. Most of the new hosts come from the 84 zones with 1000+ hosts. The subtraction of 1 host in one of the subtotals lines at the end of the table comes from the ly TLD, for which transfers were restricted this month. ly contributed a single host last month. Other TLD's from the RIPE Region which were not included, usually due to zone transfer problems at the top level: eh et gm kw sd so st tg - Credits - I would like to thank all people who help me to create the hostcount every month by counting hosts locally: ad Joan Marc Lauga at Gerhard Winkler be DNS-BE Registration Office ch Marcel Schneider cy vasoula@ucy.ac.cy cz Jiri Orsag de Peter Koch dk Morten Christensen es Susana Gayo.
