Summary
Gigahost
hosting datacenter nsp
GIGAHOST is operated by Gigahost AS.
What it's used for
- The address space carries hosting and datacenter infrastructure, evidenced by netnames such as
NO-GIGAHOST-20151110andNO-GIGAHOST-20161208. - With 11,520 IPv4 addresses announced and 882 observed neighbours, the high neighbour-to-address ratio indicates a transit or network service provider role rather than a pure access network.

Gigahost ASandJSC "Ukrtelecom", with the latter associated with theUA-UKRTELECOM-20110114netname on blocks like46.202.12.0/22. - Gigahost acquired the hosting services of Terrahost in Norway and the Netherlands, expanding its existing infrastructure.
- The inventory includes 32 IPv4 prefixes and 2 IPv6 prefixes, with a mix of

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: 442 networks and 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. 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.
