Summary

hosting isp business
Twelve blocks, six of them a halving ladder growing out of one /17, and a hostname counter that outgrew its zero padding.
What it's used for
- Poland's large web-hosting and domain provider. 204,032 addresses across twelve IPv4 prefixes, nineteen IPv6 prefixes, and four observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The largest block is
79.96.0.0/16, then46.242.128.0/17and89.161.128.0/17. - Six netnames are dated:
PL-HOMENET-991123,20021114,20060215,20070827,20090313,20100726and20101227. - Five smaller blocks carry the undated netname
HOMEPL:188.128.160.0/19,188.128.144.0/20,188.128.136.0/21,188.128.132.0/22and188.128.131.0/24. - Six of eighteen sampled addresses returned names, all of the form
cloudserver099568.home.pl.
Interesting
- Those five
188.128blocks are a halving ladder. Each begins exactly where the next smaller one ends: a /24, then a /22, a /21, a /20, a /19, and finally a dated /18 at188.128.192.0. That is what growth looks like when a provider keeps asking for more and the registry keeps doubling the request from the same /17. - The oldest netname is
991123with a two-digit year; every later one uses four digits. One holder's own paperwork brackets the registry's format change, which puts it somewhere between November 1999 and November 2002. - The reverse names are generated from a counter, and one of the six sampled runs to seven digits where the others run to six. The zero padding was sized for a smaller number of machines than the company eventually ran.
- Four neighbours for 204,032 addresses is a hosting network rather than an access network. The traffic leaves through a handful of transit paths because it is all outbound from servers.

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 2026-10-30. 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.
