Summary
LightEdge Solutions
hosting enterprise legacy
LIGHTEDGE-AS-02 is LightEdge Solutions, the Des Moines, Iowa colocation, private-cloud and managed-services provider. It began life in 1996 as Lighthouse Communications, and the reverse DNS still remembers: sampled addresses in its own 216.81.128.0/17 come back under lh.net.
What it's used for
Multi-tenant hosting. RIS sees 115 IPv4 prefixes, 312,576 addresses, 15 IPv6 prefixes and 41 observed neighbours. Forty-one neighbours is the number that separates this from every enterprise in the neighbouring AS range: it is far too many for a company buying transit for itself, and far too few for a wholesale backbone. It is the peering profile of a regional data-centre operator that connects to several carriers and exchanges at each of its sites and then resells that connectivity to the tenants in its cages.
The rDNS confirms what the space carries, and it is customers, not the operator: dhcpclient5.co.marshall.ia.us (an Iowa county government), atlantic5.snyder-assoc.com, san-srv-exc.enterpriseinformatics.com — a mix of local government, professional-services firms and enterprise mail servers sitting on hosted address space.
Notable
The prefix registrants read like a merger list, and that is exactly what they are. 147.203.0.0/16 is registered to ALPHAREL/optigraphics, a San Diego company, and its rDNS points at americanis.net; 206.251.233.0/24 is registered to American Internet Services. AIS — founded 1989, rebranded NFINIT in 2020 and San Diego's largest colocation operator — was acquired by LightEdge in April 2022, which is how a Des Moines provider ends up announcing legacy San Diego space. Likewise the onr.com PTRs on 207.200.0.0/18: OnRamp, the Austin colocation provider LightEdge bought in 2018. Third-party-looking registrants that are actually acquisitions are the most common false positive in this data, and this AS is a clean example of it.

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: 431 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
