Summary
Skycloud Computing (騰雲運算)
hosting cdn legacy
SKYCLOUD-NET is Skycloud Computing Co., Ltd. (騰雲運算), a Taiwanese cloud, CDN and DDoS-mitigation provider based in New Taipei City.
What it's used for
- A mix of infrastructure services: IDC colocation, hybrid cloud and cloud direct-connect, IP transit, CDN, and Layer 3/4 and Layer 7 DDoS scrubbing.
- Its customer base skews toward workloads that attract attacks — online gaming, live streaming and e-commerce — which is what a Taiwanese network buys DDoS protection for.
Notable
- Genuinely multihomed: around a dozen upstream transit providers and a couple of downstream networks of its own, with an open peering policy in the Asia-Pacific region.
- The IPv4 footprint is modest — roughly 10,000 addresses across a couple of dozen prefixes — but the address space is densely used, with well over a hundred thousand domain names resolving into it. That density is the signature of shared hosting and CDN edge, not of subscriber assignments.
Interesting
- The number was reissued. APNIC's registration for this AS dates to 2021, so the four-digit number reflects recycling rather than early-internet history.

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 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-20. 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.
