Summary
HostCircle
hosting business netherlands
HOSTCIRCLE-L- is operated by HostCircle B.V.
What it's used for
- The address space carries hosting infrastructure, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
64.57.237.178.hosted-by.hostcircle.comand netnames likeNL-HOSTCIRCLE-20180905. - The AS announces 1280 IPv4 addresses across 5 prefixes and 2 IPv6 prefixes, with 49 observed neighbours. This ratio of modest address space against a high neighbour count indicates a transit or interconnection role rather than a large-scale access network.
- Traffic from this AS consists of web and API endpoints for HostCircle's hosting services, including dedicated servers and cloud infrastructure provided to business clients.
Notable
- Registrants are mixed:
HostCircle B.V.holds the primary Dutch blocks, whileHostCircle IT Solutions PVT LTDregisters110.44.4.0/24,BlazingFast LLCregisters185.61.136.0/24, andRAX.BG EOODregisters193.91.11.0/24. - The inventory includes prefixes from multiple distinct registrants, suggesting leased space or historical acquisitions rather than a single contiguous corporate estate.

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.
