Summary
Nekotopia
hosting business uae
DEFAULTROUTE is operated by Nekotopia, a hosting provider based in Dubai.
What it's used for
- The address space carries hosting infrastructure, indicated by netnames such as
NEKOTOPIA-AWS-72andSG-NEKOTOPIA-NCOLO. - The AS announces 768 IPv4 addresses across 3 prefixes with only 1 observed neighbour, a ratio consistent with a small-scale hosting or business network rather than a transit provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of web and API endpoints for hosting clients, given Nekotopia's business model as a data center and hosting service provider.
Notable
- Registrants for all three prefixes are consistent with the announcer, listing "Nekotopia NOC" or "noc" with Richard Lowton as the contact.
- The address inventory is small and fragmented, consisting of three separate /24 blocks in different ranges (185.24.72.0/24, 185.24.74.0/24, and 185.65.116.0/24).

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: 432 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.
