Hosting ARIN
Summary
Advanced Internet Technologies, Inc. (AIT)
hosting legacy
AITNET is Advanced Internet Technologies, Inc. — "AIT" — a privately held hosting company founded in 1995 and headquartered in Fayetteville, North Carolina, where it owns and runs its own data centre. It sells shared and dedicated hosting, VPS, domain registration and infrastructure services.
What it's used for
Web and mail hosting, served from a small, dense address footprint. RIS sees 6 announced IPv4 prefixes carrying about 29,440 addresses, plus one IPv6 /48 (2606:13c0::/48), against 2 observed BGP neighbours. Two peers is a single-site network buying transit from a couple of carriers — the opposite of a wholesale operator, and exactly what a hosting company with one data centre looks like.
The reverse DNS settles the use. Sampled PTRs are third-party service hostnames — abc.catalysiswebhosting.com, server.chart-thing.com, mx3.mailer.cawarmy.com, mail2.adlibsoft.org, ftp.psi-online.net — sitting alongside AIT's own nagios.ait.com monitoring host and nameservices.net, AIT's domain-registration brand. Customer-branded servers and mail exchangers scattered through the space, with the operator's own infrastructure interleaved, is the fingerprint of a multi-tenant hosting estate rather than an access network.
Notable
The footprint is tidy for its age: one /18, one /19 and a /20 doing nearly all the work, with three isolated 97.66.x/24s as the only strays. Small hosting ASNs at this number range are usually 1990s ISPs that pivoted; AIT is one of the ones that stayed in the hosting business under its original ownership.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-11-12, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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: 455 networks and 1,849 prefixes, as published 2026-11-13. 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.
