Unclassified AFRINIC
Summary
Ghana Dot Com
isp hosting business
A company whose registered name spells out a web address in words, written twice with a hyphen between.
What it's used for
- An internet company's network. One IPv4
/23announced from Ghana, no IPv6, five hundred and twelve addresses, through a single observed BGP neighbour.
Notable
- The name string in the routing record is the company's full name, a hyphen, and the same full name again.
- That name reads as a country followed by the two words of a commercial domain suffix, spelled out rather than punctuated.
- The netname is an organisation handle generated by the regional registry, not a name anyone chose.
- The AS handle is the company's initials and the three letters for an autonomous system number.
- Five hundred and twelve addresses are announced as one route behind one upstream.
- Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Naming a company after a web address was how businesses signalled what they did in the years when that still needed explaining. The suffix stopped meaning anything years ago and the legal name cannot be changed as cheaply as a logo.
- Five hundred and twelve addresses in a country's early commercial internet is a reminder that networks start small everywhere. The number was issued at the same time as ones now carrying millions of addresses.

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: 440 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.
