Summary
Premium Hosting
hosting business telecom
The AS handle says telecom, the company name says hosting.
What it's used for
- A hosting company's network. 1,280 addresses across three IPv4 prefixes, with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The AS handle is
PREMIUMTELECOMwhile the registrant on every block isPremium Hosting, Inc. - All three blocks carry the netname
PHNand sit in one run:208.86.16.0/24,208.86.18.0/23and208.86.20.0/23. - One small piece of that run is missing, which is why three announcements are needed instead of one.
- Nine addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- A handle that names a different line of business is a fossil. Handles are set when the number is issued and rarely changed afterwards, so this one records what the company called itself at the time rather than what it does now. Telecom to hosting is a common direction of travel for a small operator.
- The missing piece in an otherwise contiguous run is the whole reason this network appears three times in the global routing table. If that one block came free, the three could collapse into a single announcement.
- Three-letter netnames repeated across every block tell a reader nothing, which for a hosting company is the safer choice: naming a block after the customers on it invites attention to them.
- Nothing published in reverse DNS is unusual for hosting, where customers often ask for names on their own addresses.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-25, 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: 443 networks and 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-24. 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.
