Dear All, below is the hostcount for March 2003. The table shows an increase since last month of over 550,000 (or 2,9%) to a total of almost 1,970,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe and surrounding areas. The 'at' domain shows the highest increase for March with approximately 140,000 hosts more than in February. Background information and more statistics are available at http://www.ripe.net/hostcount/ - Brief Notes on this Hostcount - The Januari, 2003 data for lt was reused due to a corrupted count for this month. For mk, hu, tr and dk the Februari, 2003 data has been reused for the same reason. Finally, the October, 2002 data was used for counting 'no'. - 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.
