Summary
NSI Hosting
hosting business infrastructure
Six different companies hold the space this one AS announces, and 35 BGP neighbours carry it.
What it's used for
- A hosting provider's network. 16,640 addresses across 24 IPv4 prefixes plus two IPv6 prefixes,
2605:9500:212::/47and2605:9500:b001::/48, with 35 observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Five blocks carry the netname
NSI001001, registered toDatatility, Inc., one of them listing aNetwork Operations Center. - Others belong to
Elexio(ELEXIO-1),Booz Allen Hamilton Inc.(BAH-NET),Project Performance Company, LLC(PROJ-PERFORM) andEquinix, Inc.(EQUINIX-EDMA-ASH). - Two carry
VA-NSIHOSTING-1and oneNETSENSE-DC02-IP, registered toNSI Hostingitself. - Seven single
/24s come from149.97, alongside a/23from the same range. - Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- One netname repeated across five unrelated ranges is a customer account number rather than a description. Whoever registered them was tracking billing, not addressing.
- Thirty-five neighbours on 16,640 addresses is one of the highest ratios in this range. A hosting business sells reachability, and peering with everyone available is cheaper than buying transit from a few.
- A block registered to an exchange point operator names a facility rather than a network. That is space assigned to a cabinet, and it moves with the cabinet.
- A defence consultancy and a small hosting company sharing an AS is unremarkable in practice: the consultancy bought managed hosting, and the registry recorded who paid for the addresses rather than who runs the routers.

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 1,851 prefixes, as published 2026-11-04. 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.
