Summary
Webhosting.Net
hosting business webhosting
The AS handle WEBHOST-ASN1 is held by Webhosting.Net, Inc.
What it's used for
- The address space carries web hosting infrastructure, evidenced by netnames such as
WEBHOSTING-NETandWEBHOSTINGassigned to registrant Webhosting.Net, Inc. - The AS announces 18,688 IPv4 addresses across 32 prefixes with only 2 observed neighbours, a ratio that indicates a hosting or business network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- Registrants are largely consistent with the announcer, with most prefixes registered to Webhosting.Net, Inc., though some blocks show legacy registrants like Cogent Communications, LLC and Tristar Communications.
- The address inventory is fragmented into many small /23 and /24 blocks, with the largest being a /20, suggesting a collection of smaller allocations rather than a single contiguous estate.

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 2026-10-13, 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: 436 networks and 1,771 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.
