Unclassified RIPE Content
Summary
Hostline
hosting business cloud
HOSTLINE is operated by Hostline, UAB, a Lithuanian hosting and cloud service provider.
What it's used for
- The address space carries hosting and cloud infrastructure, evidenced by netnames such as
LT-CLOUD-CS-20190107and reverse DNS entries like88-119-178-254.hostline.lt. - With 6,656 IPv4 addresses announced across 12 prefixes and 128 observed neighbours, the high neighbour count relative to the address inventory indicates a transit or peering-heavy role rather than a pure access network.
- Traffic from this AS consists of web hosting, VPS, and cloud API endpoints for business customers, consistent with Hostline's service offerings.
Notable
- Registrants vary significantly across prefixes, including Telia Lietuva, BITE, Cogent Communications, Data Center Experts, and Hostline itself, indicating a mix of owned and leased or historically acquired address space.
- The inventory includes prefixes originally registered to other operators (e.g.,
LT-LIETUVOS-20051024for Telia,LT-BITE-20050519for BITE), suggesting Hostline has aggregated space from multiple sources over time. - The address inventory is fragmented, with a mix of /22, /23, and /24 blocks from different regional registries (RIPE and APNIC).

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: 445 networks and 1,817 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
1 IC3 indicators addresses in this network appear in FBI IC3 cybersecurity advisories.
| Prefix | Advisory | Published |
|---|---|---|
185.172.65.80 | China-Linked Hacking Group QTFY Targets Military and Critical Infrastructure with Malicious Distributed Systems | 2026-08-26 |
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
