Summary

DC West

Australia · AI-generated

hosting business datacenter

DCWEST-AS-AU-AP is operated by DC West Pty. Ltd.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries business and data center infrastructure, evidenced by netnames such as DOGHOUSEMEDIA-AU, AGPL-AU, VRIPL-AU, ZHPL-AU, and LOGICWEB.
  • The AS announces 1792 IPv4 addresses across 5 prefixes with only 2 observed neighbours, indicating a hosting or business network rather than a transit provider.
  • Traffic from this AS consists of web and API endpoints for various Australian businesses and data center tenants.

Notable

  • Registrants include Doghouse Media, Attained Group, Virtual Reality Infosystems, Zipform, and LogicWeb, which differ from the announcer DC West, suggesting leased space or post-acquisition history.
  • DC West was formed from the acquisition of DataMate Backup Services and the Perth CBD data centre (HGAIT) in mid-2009.
  • The inventory consists of five distinct /23 and /24 blocks, all located in Australia.

Reputation

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.
