Summary
NetActuate
hosting edge infrastructure business
NETACTUATE is operated by NetActuate, Inc.
What it's used for
- The address space carries edge infrastructure and hosting services, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
icinga2ams.vr.orgando5lu.x.rootbsd.net, and netnames likeNETACTUATE-IPV4andNETACTUATE-AP. - With 60,672 IPv4 addresses announced across 106 prefixes and 7,874 observed neighbours, the high neighbour-to-address ratio indicates a transit-heavy role supporting global edge connectivity rather than a pure access network.
Notable
- Registrants consistently identify as NetActuate, Inc or NetActuate ZA, aligning with the AS handle and confirming a unified corporate ownership structure across regions.
- The address inventory is finely subdivided into numerous /21 and /22 blocks, reflecting a site-by-site segmentation strategy typical of a distributed edge infrastructure provider.
- NetActuate operates under the DBA Host Virtual and Tranquil Hosting, indicating a multi-brand approach to its hosting and network solutions.

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: 432 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.
