Summary
American Internet Services (Nfinit)
hosting colocation legacy
AIS-WEST is American Internet Services, LLC, a San Diego data-centre and colocation operator that rebranded as Nfinit and is now part of LightEdge.
What it's used for
- Colocation, cloud, connectivity and managed services out of data centres in California and Arizona. Addresses here front hosted customer infrastructure: servers, racks and managed systems belonging to the companies that buy space from it.
- Its announced space is many scattered /24s rather than a few large blocks, which is the normal accumulation pattern for a provider that grew by absorbing other ISPs and their address holdings.
Notable
- A hosting address, not an eyeball one: an IP here is a machine in a data centre, not a home connection. Traffic sources in this space are servers.
- ARIN's registration for the ASN dates to November 1995, which fits the company's stated 1989 founding as an early San Diego ISP.
Interesting
- American Internet Services was itself assembled from several San Diego ISPs and a chain of data centres, then renamed Nfinit, then acquired by LightEdge in 2022. A single ASN carries the history of a whole regional consolidation, and the ARIN handle still says
AIS-WESTthrough all of it.
