An Autonomous System operated by Selectel, a major Russian hosting and cloud provider based in St. Petersburg. SELECTEL
What it's used for
- Dedicated servers, VPS, cloud compute, and colocation for Russian and international customers.
Notable
- An IP here identifies Selectel as the host, not the operator of what runs on it — legitimate businesses and abusive VPS alike.
- Selectel announces prefixes from more than one ASN; see the sibling AS50340.
Interesting
- Selectel operates its own data centers in Russia and is one of the country's larger independent cloud/hosting operators.

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.

IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
