Summary
StackPath / Highwinds (now Datum Cloud)
cdn hosting edge
Long-running CDN and edge-hosting network. Originally Highwinds Network Group, it was rolled into StackPath's CDN in 2016 and now appears under Datum / Datum Cloud. Announced as STACKPATH in some registries.
What it's used for
- Content delivery, edge caching, and website/media acceleration for the CDN customers built on the former Highwinds/StackPath platform.
Notable
- An IP here identifies the CDN edge as the host, not the origin operator of whatever content is being served.
- The heritage chain is Highwinds → StackPath → Datum, so registry names and org fields for this ASN vary depending on when a record was pulled.
Interesting
- Highwinds was one of the early independent CDNs before the wave of consolidation that produced StackPath.

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 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
