Summary
Ashdown Technologies, Inc.
hosting legacy
The network of Ashdown Technologies, Inc., a small internet services company in
the Manchaug mill village of Sutton, Massachusetts, registered under the handle
ASHDOWN-TECH.
What it's used for
- Web and email hosting, virtual servers, server colocation, and cloud backup for the company's customers.
- Internet access delivered from its Manchaug Mills premises, plus the company's own DNS and gateway infrastructure. Reverse DNS across the space resolves under
ashdowntech.com.
Notable
- A genuinely small operator: two /24s, roughly 512 addresses in total, mixing hosting customers with the company's own network plumbing.
- ARIN registered the AS in 1995. The registrant organisation handle ends in
-Z, a legacy-record cleanup marker, not evidence that the AS changed hands.
Interesting
- The firm dates to 1982 and has been selling internet services since the mid-1990s, run out of a historic New England mill complex. That is an unusually long tenure for a network of this size.
