Summary
Hotlinks
isp residential uk nsp
HOTLINKS-AS is operated by Domainmaster LTD, a UK-based internet service provider known as Hotlinks.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential customer traffic, evidenced by the reverse DNS record
dhcp6.shr.ugand the netnameUK-DOMAINMASTER-20000901. - With 3840 IPv4 addresses announced across 4 prefixes and only 1 observed neighbour, the network functions as an access provider rather than a transit hub.
Notable
- Registrants for the largest prefixes are listed as Domainmaster LTD, which aligns with the AS holder, while the smallest prefix lists the registrant as Abuse-C Role.
- The address inventory consists of four contiguous IPv4 blocks within the 217.14.128.0/21 range, with no IPv6 prefixes currently announced.

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 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-23. 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.
