Hosting ARIN
Summary
LAKENETWORKS
hosting legacy
LAKENETWORKS-AS is a small hosting and network-services provider operating out of Como, Italy, offering cloud, VPS, web hosting, colocation and IP transit. ARIN registered this ASN to its current holder in January 2025, so the low number is a recent reissue with no early-internet history.
What it's used for
- Hosting and transit. The AS originates a handful of IPv4
/24s plus a comparatively large set of IPv6 prefixes, and offers BGP sessions and IPv6 allocations to downstream users. - Reverse DNS is internally consistent across the estate: customer assignments under
customer.lakenetworks.net, a core router namedcore01-nyc, and hosts under the operator's Italian domain.
Notable
- The address space is drawn from both ARIN and RIPE ranges. Scattered multi-RIR
/24s are often a warning sign of address leasing, but here the coherent operator-controlled rDNS, a published looking glass and a PeeringDB presence all point to a genuine, if small, network. - The ARIN registrant address is a California mailbox suite. The operational network is Italian; treat the US registration as a paperwork detail, not a location.
Interesting
- The operator's own reverse DNS spans a
.itdomain for its Italian estate and a.netdomain for its US-facing routers, which is why a name-only lookup can place this network on the wrong continent.

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 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
