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.

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: 442 networks and 1,781 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
