Summary
WHG Hosting Services Ltd
hosting business infrastructure
Four netnames carry registration dates spanning twenty years, and the rest of the estate is leased from a broker.
What it's used for
- A hosting provider's network. 11,264 addresses across 33 IPv4 prefixes, with a single observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- Netnames
UK-WHGI-20040721,UK-WHGI-20071001,UK-WHGI-20110309andUK-WHGI-20240710are all registered toWHG Hosting Services Ltd, each ending in a date. - Other blocks carry
IPXOorNET-179-61-192-0-24registered toPrivate Customer, and several resolve with the registrantIPXO Incident Response Teamand no netname at all. - Four of eighteen sampled addresses returned a name:
mysecurecloudhost.comtwice,d2843.use1.stableserver.netandvps.nysquid.net. - Most of the estate arrives as single
/24s from unrelated ranges.
Interesting
- Reading the four dated netnames in order gives the company's growth curve straight from the registry: an early block, two more within a decade, then a gap of years before the most recent. Nobody set out to publish that, but the convention does it anyway.
- The AS handle ends in a code that also appears inside a hostname, matching the region naming used by large cloud providers. A small host borrowing that vocabulary is describing itself in terms its customers already understand.
- Blocks whose only contact is a leasing broker's incident-response team are rented address space: the operator has the route, the broker keeps the paperwork and fields the complaints.
- One neighbour for 33 prefixes puts the entire estate behind a single upstream.

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 2026-10-26, 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.
