Summary
NHN Cloud
cloud hosting datacenter korea
NHNCLOUDSERVICE-AS-KR is registered to NHN Cloud, the Korean public-cloud provider spun out of NHN Corporation in April 2022. The business began as NHN's internal infrastructure arm, launched publicly as TOAST Cloud in 2014, and now runs its own data centres — including an AI/HPC facility in Gwangju — serving public and private cloud customers in Korea and the wider Asia-Pacific.
What it's used for
- Public cloud: compute, storage, managed databases, container and AI/HPC services, plus the government-cloud and enterprise IDC work NHN Cloud specialises in.
- This particular AS carries only a sliver of that. RIS observes exactly one IPv4 prefix,
103.243.200.0/24(256 addresses), behind a single observed neighbour.
Notable
- The kind is hosting/cloud on the strength of the operator, not the routing — because the routing is tiny. One /24 announced through one upstream is not a cloud platform's production footprint; NHN Cloud's customer-facing capacity lives in other ASNs and in space registered elsewhere. Read this number as a narrow, purpose-specific announcement (an edge, management or service block) rather than as the company's estate.
- That gap matters for anyone sizing the provider from BGP: the AS is a poor proxy for NHN Cloud's actual scale, and it would be wrong to conclude from 256 addresses that the operator is small.
Interesting
- The low ASN is inherited history, not vintage cloud. Number 10038 predates NHN Cloud by decades and reflects an early Korean allocation carried forward through the group.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 447 networks and 1,845 prefixes, as published 2026-10-31. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
