Summary
RootLayer Web Services
hosting vps datacenter
ROOTLAYERNET is operated by RootLayer Web Services LLC.
What it's used for
- The address space carries hosting and VPS infrastructure, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
customer-rental.rootlayer.netandhosted-by.rootlayer.net. - The AS announces 2,560 IPv4 addresses across 3 prefixes with only 2 observed neighbours, a ratio consistent with a hosting provider rather than a transit carrier.
- Traffic from this AS consists of web hosting, VPS instances, and dedicated server endpoints for customers renting infrastructure from RootLayer.
Notable
- Registrants for all announced prefixes align with the announcer, listing RootLayer Web Services LLC or RootLayer Web Services LTD.
- The inventory includes a prefix registered to RootLayer Web Services LTD with the netname
RWSL-BD, indicating a separate legal entity or regional division within the same corporate structure. - The address inventory is composed of three distinct /22 and /23 blocks, all located in the United States of America.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-14, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
On Spamhaus ASN-DROP Spamhaus lists this entire
network (associated domain rootlayer.net)
as controlled by, or hijacked for, cybercrime. Many operators null-route
everything it originates.
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.
