Summary

hosting isp business
Names whose first four labels are the address itself, in the usual order.
What it's used for
- A managed services and connectivity provider's network. 1,024 addresses across three IPv4 prefixes, with five observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- Eight of nine sampled addresses answered, in the form
162.12.216.64.va.magna5.comand67.221.0.128.wpa.magna5.com. - The netnames carry the same site codes:
MAGNA5-VA-162-12-216-0andMAGNA5-WPA-67-221-0-0-1. - Registry records and reverse DNS therefore agree on which block belongs to which site.
- Five upstreams were observed, more than most networks of this size.
Interesting
- Almost every generated reverse name replaces the dots in an address with dashes. These do not, so the first four labels of the name are the address written normally, followed by a site tag and the domain. It reads oddly and it confuses anything that scans text for an address, since the name contains a complete one.
- Having the site code in both the netname and the reverse name is unusual and genuinely useful. Most networks let those two systems drift apart, and here somebody kept them in step across three blocks from three different ranges.
- Five neighbours for a thousand addresses says the business sells connectivity as well as hosting. Providers accumulate upstreams because customers ask about resilience, not because the traffic demands it.
- One sampled address returned nothing while the rest answered, which is the ordinary state of a block where a few addresses are held back.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
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: 431 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.
