Abstract
This article discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the use of Internet
host and domain counts as indicators of the diffusion of the Internet.
Based on the author's bi-annual survey of domain names and host counts
provided by the Internet Software Consortium, this article provides data
on the number and composition of domains by country, per capita measures
of domain names, and changes in the composition of Internet hosts and
domains names over time.
