Summary
UKHost4u
hosting business uk
UKHOST4U is operated by UKHost4u, a UK-based web hosting provider.
What it's used for
- The address space carries hosting infrastructure, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
qfx1.cov1.ukhost4u.comandplesk.designbuybuildmag.co.uk, indicating managed servers and client web applications. - The AS announces 3072 IPv4 addresses across 3 prefixes with only 2 observed neighbours, a ratio typical of a hosting or access network rather than a transit provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of web hosting services, including Plesk-managed sites and dedicated server infrastructure for small and medium-sized businesses.
Notable
- All registrants for the announced prefixes are listed as Paul David Hughes, consistent with the AS holder and the company's founder.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-13, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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: 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.
