Summary
1st Class Hosting
hosting business infrastructure
The AS is filed under a handle that just says AS-DNS.
What it's used for
- A hosting provider's network. 3,072 addresses across seven IPv4 prefixes, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The AS handle is
AS-DNS, which names neither the company nor anything specific to it. - Five blocks carry the netname
FCHOSTNET-V4;65.49.128.0/23carriesSCHL-6instead. - The lookup for
192.55.95.0/24failed. - Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- A handle consisting of two generic words is a name chosen before anyone thought about namespaces. It reads as a description of a service rather than an identifier, and it is now permanent, because handles are referenced by other records and cannot be renamed without breaking them.
- The main netname is the company's initials, a word for what the space is, and the protocol version. Marking IPv4 explicitly is a habit that only makes sense once you hold the other kind, and no IPv6 is announced here, so the label is aspirational.
- The outlier netname is four letters and a number that match nothing else in the record. It is an older assignment that arrived with its own label attached.
- One neighbour for a hosting company means a single upstream, which is a business decision about price rather than an oversight, and a customer-visible one the first time that upstream fails.

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: 442 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.
