European Hostcount for August 1998

[RIPE NCC Hostcount Maintainer <]

Dear All,

below is the hostcount for August 1998. 

The table shows an increase since last month of over 260,000 (or 3.8%) 
to a total of approximately 7.25 million hosts in the DNS in Europe and
surrounding areas.

The dk domain shows the highest increase for August with approximately
75,000 hosts more than in July.

- Annotations to this Hostcount -

cz shows a zero increase. We were not able to arrange the transfer
of the data in time. The numbers for cz are therefore identical
to last month. Apologies for this.

- Other Ways to Obtain the Hostcount -

The hostcount can also be found under 
        
        ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/hostcount.

The graphical version of the hostcount can be found at

        ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/hostcount/RIPE-Hostcount-{Mo,Qu}.eps

The translation of the country codes can be found at

Information Services has hosted the complete set of data since 1994
under

I would like to thank all people who help me to create the hostcount
every month by counting hosts locally:
