Summary
GoDaddy
hosting managed-hosting vps
A GoDaddy Autonomous System. GoDaddy is one of the world's largest domain registrars and web hosts, and this network carries GoDaddy's hosting infrastructure (including brands it has absorbed over the years).
What it's used for
- Shared, managed WordPress, VPS, and web hosting for a very large base of small businesses and individual sites.
Notable
- An IP here identifies GoDaddy as the host, not the operator of the site on it.
- GoDaddy operates multiple ASNs, partly a legacy of acquisitions (e.g. Host Europe, Media Temple); which one serves a given site varies.
Interesting
- GoDaddy hosts tens of millions of domains, so its shared-hosting ranges are among the most common you'll see behind small websites.

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: 455 networks and 1,854 prefixes, as published 2026-11-09. 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.
