Hosting RIPE Content
Summary
Metaregistrar B.V.
hosting domain netherlands business
METAREGISTRAR is operated by Metaregistrar B.V.
What it's used for
- The address space carries hosting and domain infrastructure, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
hosted-by.metaregistrar.com,mijndomeinhosting.nl, andserver166.mijndomeinhosting.nl. - The AS announces 3584 IPv4 addresses across 3 prefixes and 15 IPv6 prefixes, with only 1 observed neighbour, indicating a hosting or content provider role rather than a transit or access network.
- Traffic from this AS consists of web hosting, domain registration services, and related API endpoints for Metaregistrar's customers.
Notable
- All registrants for the announced prefixes are Metaregistrar B.V., matching the AS holder.
- The address inventory is finely subdivided into multiple IPv6 prefixes under the
2a01:448::/42block, consistent with an internal corporate estate for hosting services.

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: 448 networks and 1,849 prefixes, as published 2026-10-30. 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.
