HOSTGHOST-AS is operated by HostGhost B.V.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries hosting infrastructure, evidenced by netnames NL-HOSTGHOST-20110114, NL-HOSTGHOST-20190425, and NL-HOSTGHOST-20151002, as well as reverse DNS entries like unregistered-ip.hostghost.nl.
  • The network announces 4608 IPv4 addresses across 5 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, with only 2 observed neighbours, indicating a hosting or business network rather than a transit provider.
  • Traffic from this AS consists of web hosting services and corporate endpoints, including specific services for Villa Hosting B.V. (e.g., redirect.villah.com, ldap01.villah.net) and Monkey Tail B.V.

Notable

  • Registrants for the largest prefixes are consistent with the announcer, listing HostGhost NOC Role and HostGhost B.V. for the primary blocks.
  • Smaller prefixes are registered to Villa Hosting B.V. (netname Villa-Hosting) and Monkey Tail B.V. (netname MONKEYTAIL-NET), suggesting these entities are either customers or subsidiaries managed under the HostGhost NOC.
  • The inventory is composed of five distinct IPv4 blocks ranging from /21 to /24, with the largest being 46.243.96.0/21.

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: 448 networks and 1,849 prefixes, as published 2026-10-29. 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.
