hosting marketing datacenter

LAYER is the AS handle for Layer Marketing Services L.L.C.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries hosted infrastructure, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as 199-119-138-64.hostedby.layer.ae and netnames like LAYER-NET-NL-1, LAYER-NET-SGP-2, and LAYER-NET-GEG-1.
  • The AS announces 1536 IPv4 addresses across 6 prefixes and 12 IPv6 prefixes, with 9 observed neighbours, indicating a hosting or datacenter role rather than a transit or access network.
  • Traffic from this AS consists of web and API endpoints for marketing services, consistent with the operator's business in digital marketing and datacenter hosting.

Notable

  • Registrants for most prefixes are listed as "Layer", aligning with the AS holder, while one prefix (151.247.8.0/24) shows a different registrant structure under "Internet Utilities".
  • The address inventory is finely subdivided across multiple geographic locations, including the Netherlands, Singapore, and the UAE, reflecting a distributed datacenter footprint.

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: 447 networks and 1,845 prefixes, as published 2026-10-31. 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.
