hosting vps business

ALPHA-LAYER-AS-AP is operated by Alpha Layer Pty Ltd, known commercially as FlowVPS.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries VPS and hosting infrastructure, evidenced by the registrant FlowVPS and netnames ALPHALAYER-AU and ALPHALAYER-AU-1.
  • The AS announces 1536 IPv4 addresses across 4 prefixes and 6 IPv6 prefixes, with 25 observed neighbours, indicating a hosting provider with multiple upstream connections.
  • Traffic from this AS consists of virtual private server instances and web/API endpoints provided to business customers.

Notable

  • Registrants for the primary prefixes (195.114.14.0/23, 195.114.126.0/23, 103.108.228.0/24) list FlowVPS and Alpha Layer Pty Ltd, aligning with the AS holder.
  • The prefix 185.199.227.0/24 has a different netname (CID17791) and registrant (Abuse-C Role), suggesting leased or third-party space.

Classification and threat

Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.

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: 440 networks and 1,773 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.
