hosting datacenter cloud business
VDC is the AS handle for VDC Virtual Data Corp., a Canadian IT and hosting solutions provider.
What it's used for
- The address space carries managed cloud and data centre infrastructure, as indicated by the netnames
VDC-1,VDC-2, andVDC-3registered to VDC Virtual Data Corp. - The network announces 10,240 IPv4 addresses across 3 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, with only 3 observed routing neighbours; this low neighbour count relative to the address inventory indicates a hosting or data centre role rather than transit.
- Traffic from this AS consists of web and API endpoints, private cloud workloads, and managed IT services for business clients, consistent with the operator's specialization in managed private cloud hosting.
Notable
- All registrants for the announced prefixes are VDC Virtual Data Corp., matching the AS holder and confirming consistent ownership of the address space.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
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 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
