Summary
Astute Internet
hosting business fiber canada
ASTUTEHOSTING is operated by Astute Internet.
What it's used for
- The address space carries business internet and bare metal cloud hosting services, with netnames consistently prefixed
ASTUTE-NET(e.g.,ASTUTE-NET-199-167-16-0-21,ASTUTE-NET-135-84-176-0-20). - The AS announces 8,448 IPv4 addresses across 14 prefixes and 5 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining 35 observed neighbours; this ratio indicates a regional access and hosting provider rather than a transit carrier.
- Traffic consists of dedicated fiber-optic connections and direct internet access (DIA) for business clients across Canadian metros and select US markets, supporting office workers and web/API endpoints.
Notable
- All registrants in the RDAP sample are listed as "Astute Internet," which agrees with the AS handle and the operator's identity.
- The operator was formerly known as Astute Hosting, a rename reflected in the persistent
ASTUTEHOSTINGAS handle. - The inventory is fragmented across multiple distinct /22 and /23 blocks, including ranges in 199.167.0.0/16, 135.84.0.0/16, 65.38.0.0/16, 104.37.0.0/16, and 162.213.0.0/16.

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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
