Summary

Host SpA

Italy · AI-generated

hosting business italy

HOST-SPA is operated by Host SpA.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries dedicated server and VPS infrastructure, evidenced by reverse DNS entries serverdedicato.biz and hostvps.it.
  • The network announces 9,728 IPv4 addresses across 10 prefixes and maintains 38 observed neighbours, a ratio consistent with a hosting provider connecting to multiple upstreams and peers.
  • Traffic from this AS consists of web hosting, dedicated servers, and virtual private servers for business customers.

Notable

  • Registrants for the majority of prefixes are Host SpA or HOST SPA - NETWORKING GROUP, aligning with the AS holder.
  • Some prefixes are registered to third parties, including M.E.N.S. S.R.L., FENICE SRL, SEAC ROLE, and NOC Department, indicating leased or partner-managed address space.
  • The inventory consists of 10 IPv4 prefixes with no IPv6 announcements.

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 1,778 prefixes, as published 2026-10-20. 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.
