Summary
Itility Limited
hosting legacy
ITILITY-LIMITED is the network of Itility Limited, an independent data centre and colocation operator based in Manchester, England. The RIPE record describes it simply as "Internet Service Provider", but the company's actual business is a carrier-neutral Manchester facility selling colocation, dedicated and shared hosting, cloud and disaster-recovery services to UK SMEs.
What it's used for
Transit and address space for the customers of Itility's Manchester data centre — colocated racks, hosted and dedicated servers, and managed/DR platforms. Addresses under this AS are best read as hosting and colocation, not consumer access.
Notable
The inventory is larger than the customer footprint suggests: roughly 120,000 IPv4 addresses in a dozen aggregated blocks, mostly older European /18s and /19s rather than a single contiguous modern allocation. Much of that space looks accumulated rather than densely used, so a given prefix may be quieter than the headline count implies.
Interesting
The AS number sits in the 5377–5631 range RIPE NCC handed out in the mid-1990s, but the holder is a comparatively young company. Treat the low number as a property of the block, not evidence of an early-internet pedigree for Itility itself.

Classification and threat
Residential Fixed-line consumer ISP. Addresses here are homes.
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 1,782 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
