Summary

WHG Hosting Services Ltd

Australia · AI-generated

hosting shared-hosting vps australia

The Sydney point of presence of WHG Hosting Services Ltd, trading as hosting.com, and the most recently registered ASN in the family.

What it's used for

Shared web hosting, VPS and mail hosting. The ASN announces 5 IPv4 prefixes totalling 1,280 addresses, all /24s. No IPv6 is announced.

Notable

  • Reverse DNS is dense and clearly retail: s1256.syd1.mysecurecloudhost.com, d4366.syd1.stableserver.net, d17051.syd1.stableserver.net and d17400.syd1.stableserver.net, with h101.syd1.whgi.net as infrastructure on the operator's own domain.
  • Netnames run WHG-SYD1-1 through WHG-SYD1-4, plus one legacy UK-WHGI-20060419 block.
  • Three upstreams: AS3257, AS16260 (GTT) and AS63956 (5G Network Operations). No customer ASNs.
  • Customer hosts include Australian businesses such as vps.agriwealth.com.au, alongside mail hosts like postal30.anmeets.org and mail.erptiweb.com.

Interesting

  • One host answers as data.syd1.webcentral.au, carrying the group's own syd1 site code on an Australian hosting brand's domain. Another brand's infrastructure is running on this ASN.
  • The ASN was registered in 2023, yet one of the blocks it announces carries a netname dated 2006. A seventeen-year-old UK allocation now answers from Sydney, which is what it looks like when an operator moves legacy address space to wherever capacity is needed rather than leaving it where it was first assigned.

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 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
