Summary

ANS Group

United Kingdom · AI-generated

hosting colocation cloud business

ANS-GROUP-AS is operated by ANS Group Limited.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries hosting and colocation infrastructure, evidenced by reverse DNS entries pointing to srvlist.ukfast.net and netnames such as UK-ANS-20121210 and ANS-GROUP-PLC.
  • The AS announces 3072 IPv4 addresses across 5 prefixes with only 1 observed neighbour, indicating a hosting or data center role rather than transit.
  • Traffic from this AS consists of enterprise cloud, colocation, and managed services endpoints, as ANS Group provides these services to business customers.

Notable

  • All registrants for the announced prefixes are listed as ANS Group Limited, consistent with the AS holder.
  • The reverse DNS references ukfast.net, reflecting the historical integration of UKFast into ANS Group.
  • The inventory consists of five distinct IPv4 prefixes, including two /22 blocks and three smaller /23 and /24 blocks, all located in the United Kingdom.

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 1,782 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
