Summary
Internet Names For Business Inc.
hosting isp business
The eight IPv6 prefixes form a doubling chain, each one starting exactly where the last ended and each twice the size.
What it's used for
- A hosting and domain services network. 19,456 addresses across seven IPv4 prefixes plus eight IPv6 prefixes, with 14 observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Six IPv4 blocks are registered to
Internet Names For Business Inc.under netnamesMEGA-1,MEGA-3,MEGA-6,MEGA-10andMEGA-12. - The seventh,
69.156.240.0/21, carriesBELLNEXXIA-11and is registered toBell Canada. - The IPv6 announcements run
2001:1810::/42,2001:1810:40::/42,2001:1810:80::/41,2001:1810:100::/40,2001:1810:200::/39,2001:1810:400::/38,2001:1810:800::/37and2001:1810:1000::/36. - Two of eighteen sampled addresses returned a name, and both returned the same one:
mailc2-lb2.megarouting.com.
Interesting
- That IPv6 chain is what you get when a range has to be expressed as prefixes but does not start on a boundary large enough to cover it. Two small pieces get it aligned, then each subsequent prefix doubles until the range is exhausted. It is the same arithmetic as writing a number in binary.
- Two addresses in two different IPv4 blocks answering with one hostname means a pair of mail frontends sharing a name across ranges. The name identifies the service; the addresses are interchangeable.
- The gaps in the
MEGAnumbering are as informative as the numbers. At least a dozen blocks were registered under that scheme and fewer than half are still announced here. - A transit provider's netname on one block records who assigned it, not who uses it.

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: 431 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
