Summary
HOSTOWEB
hosting business morocco
HOSTOWEB is operated by HOSTOWEB, a Moroccan web hosting and data center provider.
What it's used for
- The address space carries hosting infrastructure, evidenced by reverse DNS entries pointing to
hostoweb.comand netnames likeORG-PMS2-AFRINIC(PIXI MEDIA SARL) andORG-HA4-AFRINIC(HOSTOWEB). - With 3,328 IPv4 addresses announced across 3 prefixes and 41 observed neighbours, the ratio indicates a transit or peering-heavy role rather than a large access network, consistent with a hosting provider connecting to Tier 1 providers.
- Traffic from this AS consists of web hosting, dedicated servers, and cloud services for business clients in Morocco and internationally.
Notable
- Registrants include HOSTOWEB and PIXI MEDIA SARL, with the latter holding the largest prefix (154.70.200.0/21), suggesting a subsidiary or related entity managing part of the inventory.
- The address inventory is compact, consisting of three IPv4 prefixes and three IPv6 prefixes, all located in Morocco.

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 1,781 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
