Everyone, Please find below the RIPE DNS hostcount for April 1994. - Portugal has been added to the list of countries that are counted not centrally from Amsterdam, but from within the country. UK, IE and DE were already done that way (and NL of course) - Germany is again catching up on the UK, but the UK still has most hosts. - a nice total increase of over 38,000 or 5.8% to 693,346 machines in the DNS in Europe. - all output (gzipped) again available on ftp.ripe.net:ripe/hostcount Cheers, -Marten RIPE DNS Hostcount Previous Count : Thu Mar 31 1994 This Count : Sat Apr 30 1994 CY SOA COUNTED DUPL REAL CHANGE ============================================================ al 1 0 0 0 0 at 374 18747 591 18156 + 694 az 1 0 0 0 0 be 136 11188 214 10974 + 929 bg 2 13 5 8 - 14 by 0 0 0 0 0 ch 264 43609 457 43152 + 1336 cs 86 2257 82 2175 - 93 cy 6 41 6 35 + 1 cz 131 6228 57 6171 + 1 de 1892 142250 4284 137966 +10744 dk 169 9889 209 9680 - 189 dz 2 7 0 7 + 7 dz 2 7 0 7 + 7 ee 18 361 2 359 - 159 eg 4 57 0 57 0 es 373 18300 170 18130 + 758 fi 371 45653 947 44706 + 3274 fo 1 0 0 0 0 fr 854 66434 1237 65197 + 2060 gb 1 20 0 20 + 1 ge 1 0 0 0 0 gr 122 2518 277 2241 - 14 hr 63 818 10 808 + 56 hu 56 4454 23 4431 + 745 ie 67 2861 62 2799 + 157 il 154 6820 57 6763 - 655 is 61 2545 15 2530 + 151 it 543 22027 373 21654 + 1498 li 3 17 0 17 0 lt 7 31 1 30 + 30 lu 20 394 2 392 + 34 lv 5 94 1 93 - 26 ma 1 0 0 0 0 mk 1 0 0 0 0 mt 1 0 0 0 0 nl 542 52325 683 51642 + 1189 no 571 37094 328 36766 + 1518 pl 312 6531 205 6326 + 634 pt 127 4138 79 4059 + 80 ro 17 126 0 126 + 13 se 664 52452 904 51548 + 2591 si 23 785 12 773 + 44 sk 62 996 15 981 + 47 su 189 3206 139 3067 + 618 tn 2 30 2 28 + 11 tr 29 1033 15 1018 + 210 ua 40 245 22 223 - 8 uk 1101 152304 14074 138230 + 9903 va 0 0 0 0 0 yu 1 1 0 1 - 1 ============================================================ 9473 718906 25560 693346 +38182 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.
