isp hosting business legacy
A German IT services provider's network, carrying the name of the ISP it grew out of.
What it's used for
- Business connectivity and managed hosting. 42,496 addresses in five IPv4 prefixes, one IPv6
/29, 118 observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Three netnames carry both companies at once:
DE-SCANPLUS-QBY-19990908,DE-SCANPLUS-QBY-19990617andDE-SCANPLUS-QBY-20180227. The acquired name, the acquirer's initials and the date, in one string. - The other two prefixes belong to customers.
193.24.12.0/24isBERKA-LAN, registered to the timber company Pfeifer Holz;213.153.66.0/24isHS-Net-NLs, whose contacts are CIRCULAR NETMASTER and CIRCULAR GUARDIAN. - That last block's addresses answer positionally as
host64-66.circular.de— the customer's own domain over the provider's numbering scheme.
Interesting
- The two 1999 allocations are three months apart, a
/19in June and a/17in September. Getting 32,768 addresses on a second request inside one year says the first estimate was wrong in the direction that was easy to fix at the time. - An IPv6
/29is a very large allocation — the standard is a/32, and a/29is eight of them. It was handed out to European members who asked, in an address family where asking for more was never the constraint.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
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: 442 networks and 1,778 prefixes, as published 2026-10-20. 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.
