Dear All, below is the hostcount for July 2003. The table shows an increase since last month of over 176,000 (or 0,9%) to a total of almost 20,580,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe and surrounding areas. The il domain shows the highest increase for July with approximately 200,000 hosts more than in June. Background information and more statistics are available at http://www.ripe.net/hostcount/ - Brief Notes on this Hostcount - The February, 2003 data was used for dk due to their having a corrupted count this month. The May, 2003 data was used for ru due to problems with the remote collection. The June, 2003 data was used again for lt, mk and ro. - 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.
