Summary
The Positive Internet Company
business uk hosting
The AS handle POSITIVE-INTERNET-UK-AS is held by The Positive Internet Company Ltd.
What it's used for
- The address space carries internal infrastructure and service endpoints, evidenced by reverse DNS names such as
oss-cluster-freeforuse,broadcast.v730.positive-internet.com, andboson-php5.positive-internet.com. - The AS announces 5120 IPv4 addresses across 5 prefixes while maintaining only 3 observed neighbours, a ratio that indicates a business or internal corporate estate rather than a transit or large-scale access network.
Notable
- All registrants for the announced prefixes are consistent with the announcer, specifically listing "The Positive Internet Company Ltd" for netnames like
UK-POSITIVE-20010824andUK-POSITIVE-2013052911. - The inventory consists of five IPv4 prefixes with no announced IPv6 space, showing a purely IPv4-based allocation.

Internet exchanges
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 2026-10-16, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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 2026-10-17. 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.
