Hosting RIPE Content
Summary
Hostmaster, Ltd.
hosting business moldova
The AS handle HOSTMASTER-AS is held by Hostmaster, Ltd.
What it's used for
- The address space carries hosting infrastructure, evidenced by reverse DNS records pointing to
fcsrv.net(e.g.,h0-113.fcsrv.net,h128-252.fcsrv.net) and registrant netnamesORG-PTL90-RIPEandUK-FOXCLOUD-20100504. - The AS announces 1792 IPv4 addresses across 3 prefixes with 1 observed neighbour, indicating a small-scale hosting or business network rather than a transit provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of web and API endpoints for hosted services, given the operator's role as a domain registrar and hosting provider.
Notable
- Registrants include PULSECORE TECHNOLOGIES L.L.C and FOXCLOUD LLP, which differ from the AS holder Hostmaster, Ltd., suggesting leased or managed address space.
- The address inventory is small and fragmented, with prefixes in Moldova and UK-registered netnames, reflecting a niche hosting operation.

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: 453 networks and 1,853 prefixes, as published 2026-11-05. 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.
