AS4906 FDS-01 - Frontline Communications
Hosting ARIN
Summary
Frontline Communications / Frontline Data Services
hosting legacy
FDS-01 is Frontline Communications, the network arm of Frontline Data Services in Orangeburg, New York, which provides colocation, managed IT and hosting services in the New York metro area.
What it's used for
- Hosting and colocation: address space assigned to customer servers and managed infrastructure in the company's Orangeburg facility.
- Also carries the provider's own connectivity and managed-service customers, so the space is a mix of hosted systems and business circuits.
Notable
- The handle
FDS-01matches Frontline Data Services, the data-centre brand, while the ARIN organization is still recorded under the older Frontline Communications name. - This is a small regional provider, not a national one. It announces a modest number of prefixes and reaches the internet through a couple of upstream carriers.
- The low AS number is a reissue. ARIN registered it to Frontline in 2009, so it has no early-internet lineage.

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: 455 networks and 1,854 prefixes, as published 2026-11-09. 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.
