Hosting RIPE
Summary
Hetzner Online GmbH
hosting dedicated cloud
Hetzner is a German hosting provider popular for inexpensive dedicated servers, cloud instances, and colocation, with data centers in Germany, Finland, and the United States.
What it's used for
- Budget-friendly dedicated and cloud servers used by developers, self-hosters, and small businesses.
- General-purpose hosting — websites, game servers, build runners, VPNs, and hobby projects.
Notable
- Because it is cheap and self-service, Hetzner space hosts a huge mix of legitimate projects alongside occasional abuse, so IPs here vary widely in reputation.
- Hetzner publishes clear abuse-handling processes and acts on reports.
Interesting
- Hetzner runs large solar-powered and energy-efficient data center campuses and competes largely on price-per-performance rather than managed services.

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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
4 IC3 indicators addresses in this network appear in FBI IC3 cybersecurity advisories.

IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
