Summary
Vancis IP
hosting isp telecom
Three different brand names across the holder, the handle and the reverse DNS, on one hundred and sixty-five thousand addresses.
What it's used for
- A hosting and connectivity provider's network. Thirty IPv4 prefixes and seven IPv6 prefixes announced from the Netherlands, one hundred and sixty-five thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight addresses, across two observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The holder is one company, the AS handle names a telephone operator's hosting arm, and the reverse names sit on a third domain again.
- Every netname follows one template: a country code, the holder's brand with a digit one, and an eight-digit date. The dates run across a decade, giving the order the blocks were taken in.
- One block's registry lookup failed, so its details are unknown rather than absent.
- The IPv6 holdings are a
/29, four/32s and a/48, which is a provider allocation, four ordinary ones and a single site. - Three of eighteen queried addresses answered, and two of the three names read as a phrase about being routed rather than identifying a machine.
Interesting
- One of those names is the first three octets reversed in front of the phrase; another is the phrase on its own with nothing in front. A wildcard record answers for anything unnamed, which is why an address can return a sentence with no address in it.
- Two upstreams for one hundred and sixty-five thousand addresses is unusually few, and it is what a network looks like after its parent becomes its transit.

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: 442 networks and 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. 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.
