The es domain shows the highest increase for December with approximately 138,000 hosts more than in November. Background information and more statistics are available at http://www.ripe.net/hostcount/ - Brief Notes on this Hostcount - (*) The Hostcount itself was completed on the 23rd of January, however the RIPE-47 conference resulted in the late production of this report. - 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 DK Hostmaster es Fco.
