Hosting DROP-listed space ARIN
Summary
Rethem Hosting
hosting business infrastructure
One IPv4 block, and enough IPv6 to run a national provider.
What it's used for
- A hosting company's network. 1,024 IPv4 addresses in a single prefix, one IPv6 prefix, and two observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The whole IPv4 footprint is
104.152.52.0/22, carrying the netnameRETHEM-HOSTING. - The IPv6 announcement is
2607:8500::/32, the size issued to a provider expected to supply customers of its own. - Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
- The AS first appeared in routing on
2000-08-18.
Interesting
- The two protocols tell opposite stories about the same business. The IPv4 side is a single block of a thousand addresses, bought at a price that rises every year. The IPv6 side holds enough space to allocate a generous block to millions of customers, and it cost a form.
- That is not extravagance on the operator's part. The smallest sensible IPv6 allocation for anyone intending to assign space to others is exactly this size, so a hosting company with a hundred customers and one with a hundred thousand receive the same thing.
- A netname that simply restates the company name, with no site, no purpose and no sequence number, is a single-block network that has never needed to distinguish one part from another.
- Two upstreams and no published names is the whole visible surface. For a hosting provider, the customers' own domains do the talking.

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 2026-10-18, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.

Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
