Summary
NetActuate
hosting business anycast
The AS handle NETACTUATE is held by NetActuate, Inc.
What it's used for
- The address space carries anycast infrastructure, evidenced by reverse DNS records pointing to
ptr.anycast.net(e.g.,64.224.53.157.ptr.anycast.net). - The AS announces 512 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, with only 1 observed neighbour, indicating a small, self-contained hosting or service network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- Registrants for both announced IPv4 prefixes (
157.53.224.0/24and157.53.233.0/24) are listed as NetActuate, Inc, matching the AS holder. - NetActuate, Inc operates under the DBA Host Virtual and Tranquil Hosting, providing virtual hosting services.
- The inventory consists of two contiguous /24 blocks and a single /48 IPv6 prefix, representing a compact corporate estate.

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 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-20. 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.
