Hosting RIPE
Summary
TrueServer
hosting isp business
Two addresses answer, and both answers are a single hyphen.
What it's used for
- A hosting provider. Twenty-nine IPv4 prefixes and two IPv6 prefixes announced from the Netherlands, sixty-seven thousand addresses, across one hundred and three observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Eighteen addresses were queried and two returned a name. Both names are one hyphen character, with no domain and nothing else.
- Almost every announced block is a piece of one range, and every one of those pieces shares a single netname and a single allocation date.
- That one allocation is split into more than twenty separate announcements, from a
/18down to a/24, with the covering block never announced. - The AS handle spells out the words for an autonomous system number after the company name, which is the field the handle already is.
- The handle names the former company and the holder field the current one.
- Two IPv6 blocks come from two unrelated ranges.
Interesting
- A reverse record holding one hyphen is a placeholder that escaped. Something required a value, a hyphen was the shortest thing that would pass, and it has been served to the internet ever since.
- Twenty-five routes for one allocation is the cost of announcing pieces separately. Each has to be carried by everyone, and one route would reach the same addresses.
- One hundred and three neighbours for sixty-seven thousand addresses is a hosting network that peers wherever it can rather than buying reach.

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.
