AS11357 INFO-IQTINC

INFO-IQTINC is InfoQuest Technologies, Inc., a Harrisburg, Pennsylvania provider founded in 1994 that runs its own purpose-built data centre and sells web and email hosting, VPS, colocation, domain registration and metro Ethernet.

What it's used for

The routing is that of a small regional hosting company, not a carrier. RIS sees 3 v4 prefixes / 11,264 addresses, no IPv6, and 2 observed neighbours. The two neighbours matter: a wholesale or transit operator peers with hundreds to thousands of ASes, so this is a network buying a couple of upstreams for redundancy and originating only its own space. The three prefixes are contiguous and nested inside a single /18-worth of 65.61.0.0 space — 65.61.0.0/19, 65.61.32.0/21 and 65.61.40.0/22 — which is what a single-site operator subdividing one historic allocation looks like, rather than an inventory assembled from scattered acquisitions.

Notable

Every prefix is registered to InfoQuest Technologies itself under the INFOQUEST handle. The sampled reverse DNS returns exchange.infoquest.net — a first-party service hostname, consistent with the hosted Microsoft Exchange product the company sells. Self-registered space carrying the holder's own service names is the strongest available signal that this is a real operator running its own network, not space leased out to third parties.

Interesting

The infoquest.net domain is the network side; the company's customer-facing brand sits on infoquest.com. Address space, hosting and connectivity all originate from the same Harrisburg facility.
