Summary
Continent 8
hosting business infrastructure
Three registries, three corporate entities, and an IPv6 allocation deaggregated into a halving chain.
What it's used for
- A hosting and connectivity provider. 61,952 addresses across 76 IPv4 prefixes plus 61 IPv6 prefixes, with 265 observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- North American blocks carry the netname
CL-1379, registered toContinent 8 LLC. - European blocks carry names like
IM-C8TECHNOLOGIES-20120608andIM-C8TECHNOLOGIES-20020530, registered toCONTINENT 8 TECHNOLOGIES PLC. 45.127.116.0/22carriesCONTINENT8-SG, registered to an Asian entity with its own incident-response object.- The IPv6 space starts at
2407:1d80::/38and is then announced as2407:1d80:400::/47,2407:1d80:402::/48,2407:1d80:404::/46,2407:1d80:408::/45and onward through/41. - Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- The European netnames end in a date, and the dates span nearly two decades. Each is the day that block was registered, so the netnames read as a timeline of how the business grew.
- Almost as many IPv6 prefixes as IPv4 ones. Very few networks in this corpus have reached that balance, and it is a choice rather than a consequence: the address space was there to announce whole, and it was cut up instead.
- That IPv6 chain doubles at each step, which is the same shape a network makes when it subdivides on paper rather than in response to demand.
- Three legal entities in three registries, all announcing through one AS number. The corporate structure is visible from the routing table because each region had to register locally.

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 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
