AS206996 ZAP-HOSTING
Unclassified RIPE
Summary
ZAP-Hosting
hosting vps gaming business
The AS handle ZAP-HOSTING is held by ZAP-Hosting GmbH.
What it's used for
- The address space carries virtual private servers and game server infrastructure, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
orange-duck-65087.zap.cloudandgold-gorilla-56825.zap.cloud. - The AS announces 23040 IPv4 addresses across 47 prefixes while maintaining only 2 observed neighbours, a ratio indicative of a hosting provider rather than a transit carrier.
- Traffic from this network consists of web and API endpoints for VPS instances and dedicated game servers, reflecting the operator's focus on gaming-first hosting solutions.
Notable
- Registrants for the majority of prefixes are Marvin Kluck and ZAP-Hosting GmbH, with netnames consistently referencing
ZAP-HOSTING5, though one prefix is registered to XSServer GmbH. - The address inventory is composed of numerous /22 and /24 blocks, including a single /21, suggesting a fragmented or historically accumulated estate rather than a single contiguous allocation.

No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-27, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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: 446 networks and 1,852 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
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.
