Dear All, below is the hostcount for July 2000. The table shows an increase since last month of over 380,000 (or 3,4%) to a total of about 11,775,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe and surrounding areas. The es domain shows the highest increase for July with approximately 110,000 hosts more than in June. Background information and more statistics are available at http://www.ripe.net/hostcount/ - Brief Notes on this Hostcount - The January, 2000 data had to be reused for uk due to problems in the last months with co.uk. The uk data is therefore, unfortunately, severely outdated. - 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 Edgar D Danielyan 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 Staff es Susana Gayo.
