Summary

hosting business infrastructure
Reverse lookups return customers' own domain names, which is what shared hosting looks like from outside.
What it's used for
- A hosting provider in the United Kingdom. 103,936 addresses across 104 IPv4 prefixes, twelve IPv6 prefixes, and 155 observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
208.131.151.254answerstoitureecoenergie.comand68.169.43.254answersns2.hkmx.co, neither related to the holder.- Netnames come from three organisations:
UK-UK2NET-20040420,WH-NET-208-131-128-0-1registered toWestHost, Inc., andUS-HOSTING-20120223registered toHosting Services Inc. - Other names read
208.131.136.0.west-datacenter.net, the address spelled out in full. - 104 prefixes drawn from both European and North American ranges.
Interesting
- A reverse lookup that returns a customer's domain means the customer set it, or the provider set it for them. Either way the address identifies a tenant rather than a machine, and surveying this network's PTR records would enumerate its customers.
WH-NET-208-131-128-0-1encodes the entire base address in the netname with a sequence number appended, which is one registry's automated convention and unlike anything the European entries in this range use.- Three company names across the registrations, on space from two continents, is a hosting business assembled by acquisition. The AS announces all of it as one network regardless.

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: 436 networks and 1,769 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
