Hosting ARIN
Summary
DataPipe
hosting business infrastructure
The netname convention changed halfway through the numbering, and the numbering carried straight on regardless.
What it's used for
- A managed hosting network. 111,360 addresses across 81 IPv4 prefixes plus one IPv6 prefix,
2607:f9f0::/32, with 18 observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Blocks one, three and four are named
DATAPIPE-BLK1,DATAPIPE-BLK3andDATAPIPE-BLK4. - Blocks five through eight are named
DATAPIPE-NETBLK5,DATAPIPE-NETBLK6,DATAPIPE-NETBLK7andDATAPIPE-NETBLK8. - Every block registers to
DataPipe, Inc., several with a hostmaster contact alongside. - One of eighteen sampled addresses returned a name:
64.27.75.254answers asshopattitudes.com. - Prefix sizes cluster tightly, mostly
/20and/21, spread across eight unrelated ranges.
Interesting
- The word
NETBLKappears from the fifth block onward and never before it. Whoever filed block five wrote the longer form and kept the sequence number, so the registry records both the change of habit and the exact point it happened. - The one address that answers gives a customer's own domain, with no provider label anywhere in the name. That is hosting working as intended: the address belongs to the provider, the name belongs to whoever rents it, and from outside only the second is visible.
- Eighteen neighbours for 111,360 addresses is a network that buys transit from several providers at once. Hosting customers notice an outage immediately, and the cheapest insurance against one is another neighbour.

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: 432 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.
