[RIPE Hostcount Maintainer <]

Dear All,

below is the hostcount for May 2003. 

The table shows an increase since last month of over 460,000 (or 2.4%)
to a total of just over 20,200,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe
and surrounding areas.

The fr domain shows the highest increase for May with approximately
130,000 hosts more than in April.

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 and hr due to their having a
corrupted count this month.

- Credits -

I would like to thank all people who help me to create the hostcount
every month by running a local count:
