Summary
Tibus
isp hosting residential business
TIBUS is the autonomous system handle for The Internet Business Ltd, operating under the brand name Tibus.
What it's used for
- The address space carries hosting and residential services, evidenced by netnames such as
TIBUS-CLOUD-THW2andTIBUS-ULTRAFAST-BELFAST-WELB, and reverse DNS entries like194-46-173-254.checkonehosting.comandu255.du.tibus.com. - With 30,976 IPv4 addresses across 23 prefixes and 58 observed neighbours, the network functions as a UK-based access and hosting provider rather than a pure transit carrier.
- Traffic from this AS consists of subscriber eyeballs, web hosting endpoints, and cloud services, consistent with Tibus's history as a UK internet service provider formed in 1996.
Notable
- All registrants align with the announcer, listing "The Internet Business Ltd" or "TIB Hostmaster" across the sampled prefixes.
- The address inventory is fragmented into multiple /20, /21, /22, and /24 blocks, reflecting organic growth and acquisitions since the 1990s.
- Tibus is a subsidiary of Internet Group PLC, formerly CentralNic Group PLC, a British multinational internet services holding company.

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 1,773 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.
