Summary
ITS HOSTED
hosting usenet netherlands
The AS handle ITSHOSTED-AS is held by ITS HOSTED.
What it's used for
- The address space carries hosting and Usenet infrastructure, evidenced by the netnames
NL-ITSHOSTED-20100304,NL-ITSHOSTED, andITSHOSTEDassociated with registrantITS HOSTED. - The AS announces 2048 IPv4 addresses across 4 prefixes and 31 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining 59 observed neighbours; this ratio of modest address inventory against a high neighbour count indicates a transit or peering-heavy role rather than a large access network.
- Traffic from this AS consists of web/API endpoints and Usenet content delivery, consistent with the operator's business as a hosting provider and Usenet farm.
Notable
- Registrants for all announced IPv4 prefixes are
ITS HOSTEDorAbuse-C Role, which aligns with the AS holder. - The address inventory is finely subdivided, with four distinct IPv4 prefixes and ten distinct IPv6 prefixes, suggesting internal segmentation for different services or customer groups.

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: 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.
