Summary

Hosting-MSK

Russia · AI-generated

hosting business

Six company names, a Soviet-era domain still answering, and a spelling mistake preserved in the registry.

What it's used for

  • Hosting in Moscow. 8,704 addresses in 15 IPv4 prefixes, one IPv6 prefix, and one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

  • The registry contact on most blocks is Filanco Administrtive Group, with the letter missing.
  • Netnames run RU-CITYTELECOM1-20040604, RU-CITYTELECOM1-20070806, RU-CITYTELECOM1-20131022, FILANCO-NET-77-208-215, FILANCO-NET-31-24, FILANCO-NET-31-27, FILANCO-NET-62-59 and Hostline-NET.
  • Sampled addresses answer unused.hostline.su, broadcast.hostline.ru, c07db.hoster.ru, sni0.hoster.ru and P7.LUSTYXGAME.COM.
  • The IPv6 announcement is 2a00:13c0:201::/48.

Interesting

  • The same brand appears under .su and .ru. The Soviet Union's country domain outlived the country by decades and still resolves, so a network that registered a name in the early nineties has had no reason to stop using it. Reverse DNS is exactly the sort of quiet infrastructure where that kind of survival goes unnoticed.
  • The names are unusually candid: unused marks spare addresses and broadcast marks the last address of a subnet. Both are notes to whoever is reading the zone, published to the world by accident of how reverse DNS works.
  • FILANCO-NET-77-208-215 puts an address range inside the name of the block that holds it. It saves a lookup and breaks the moment the range changes.
  • A typo in a contact name is permanent in a way a typo in a web page is not, because correcting it means an authorised change request rather than an edit.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-29, 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: 448 networks and 1,849 prefixes, as published 2026-10-29. 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.
