Summary
Based On What LLC
hosting business us
BASED-ON-WHAT-LLC is operated by Based On What LLC.
What it's used for
- The address space carries hosting infrastructure, evidenced by the netname
HOSTNOST-BDand registrantHostNoston the 151.158.90.0/24 prefix. - The AS announces 768 IPv4 addresses across 3 prefixes and 9 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining 25 observed neighbours. This ratio of modest address inventory against a significant number of peering partners suggests a transit or interconnection role rather than a large-scale access network.
- Traffic from this AS consists of web and API endpoints for hosting customers, given the operator's business focus on providing hosting services.
Notable
- Registrants are consistent with the announcer, with

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: 454 networks and 1,847 prefixes, as published 2026-11-11. 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.
