AS48596 INWX
Unclassified APNIC
Summary
INWX
hosting business infrastructure
The AS handle INWX is operated by INWX (InterNetworX Management GmbH).
What it's used for
- The address space carries infrastructure for a domain registration and web hosting provider, as indicated by the netnames
DE-INTERNETWORX-20190614andDE-INTERNETWORX-20161209. - The AS announces 2048 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes and 20 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining 50 observed neighbours. This ratio of modest address inventory to a high number of peering partners indicates a role focused on transit and interconnection rather than large-scale residential access.
- Traffic from this AS consists of web hosting endpoints, domain name system services, and API infrastructure supporting INWX's business of domain registration and server hosting.
Notable
- The registrants for both announced IPv4 prefixes are consistent with the AS holder, listing InterNetworX Management GmbH and associated hostmaster contacts.
- INWX is a German company that has rebranded from InterNetworX, trading under the abbreviation INWX which is widely recognized by its customers.
- The IPv6 inventory is finely subdivided into multiple prefixes within the 2a02:d500::/34 space, reflecting internal segmentation for different service tiers or customer allocations.

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 1,772 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
