Summary
WHG Hosting Services Ltd
hosting shared-hosting vps india
The Mumbai point of presence of WHG Hosting Services Ltd, a UK web host trading as hosting.com. It is a good example of a network whose registry country and physical location disagree.
What it's used for
Shared web hosting and VPS for customers in India. The ASN announces 19 IPv4 prefixes, every one of them a /24, totalling 4,864 addresses. No IPv6 is announced.
Notable
- Transit comes from exactly two upstreams, both Indian: AS4755 (Tata Communications) and AS55836 (Reliance Jio). There are no customer ASNs.
- Reverse DNS names the site directly.
rt011.bom1.whgi.netis a router on the operator's own infrastructure domain, and customer hosts answer ass4152.bom1.stableserver.net, wherebom1is the Mumbai site code that also appears in the AS name. - Customer-facing PTRs are shared hosting throughout:
599718-khelobharat-U.securehostdns.com,730727-naukri.fbsedu.in,unvps0020.spidyhost.comand bare customer domains such astopuplite.comandservices.bjainpharma.com. - Netnames are
WHG-BOM1-3throughWHG-BOM1-17, alongside one legacyUK-WHGI-20030620block.
Interesting
- The address space is assembled from three different regions and operated in a fourth.
190.92.174.0/24and190.92.175.0/24come from LACNIC-delegated ranges,69.57.172.0/24and the198.38.8xblocks from ARIN-delegated ranges, and103.118.16.0/24and103.118.17.0/24from APNIC. - Because the holder is registered in Norwich, geolocation that keys on the registry places these addresses in the United Kingdom. The servers answering on them are in Mumbai. Registry country is a statement about paperwork, not about where a packet ends up.
- The legacy netname is dated 2003, which predates the ASN by twenty years.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
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 2026-10-20. 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.
