Summary
Redcentric Solutions
hosting business enterprise
Thirty-two thousand addresses, one reverse name, and three different company names on one network.
What it's used for
- A United Kingdom managed-services and hosting provider. 32,000 addresses across 33 IPv4 prefixes, three IPv6 prefixes, and 100 observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Netnames run
UK-REDCENTRIC-dated20000128,20050331,20081114,20090630,20100604and20110214. - One block is
UK-SYNERTECLTD-20150305, registered to Synertec Ltd. - The AS handle is
VDATA, matching neither the registrant nor any netname. - One of eighteen sampled addresses answered:
project-gw-hsrp.core.signposter.com.
Interesting
- Three company names attach to one network: the handle, the registrant, and a third inside the only reverse name that resolves. Managed-services providers grow by buying other companies, and each generation leaves its name in whichever field was cheapest to leave alone.
- The one address that answers is a router.
hsrpis a first-hop redundancy protocol, so the label marks a gateway pair sharing one virtual address between them, andcoreplaces it in the backbone rather than at a customer edge. That single leaked hostname describes the network's shape better than the seventeen silences around it. - Six dated netnames between 2000 and 2011 track allocations arriving every year or two, the pattern of a provider growing steadily rather than in jumps.
- 100 neighbours against 33 prefixes is a well-connected network for its size.

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 1,782 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
