Surveys of Internet hosts are undertaken by several entities. Every six months, Network Wizards, on behalf of the Internet Software Consortium (ISC), carries out the longest running host survey. RIPE conducts monthly surveys of Internet hosts for countries in their region. A third source of statistics is Netsizer’s Internet Sizer from Telcordia Technologies which provides daily updates of the number of Internet hosts based on a random sample of IP addresses throughout the day. Telcordia provides hosts by country as well as by top-level and second-level domains. Hosts by country are computed by redistributing the hosts with three-letter domains (e.g. .com, .net, etc.) to individual countries and then adding them to the hosts by two-letter country domains.
