Summary
GMO NetIRD (NetIRD Inc.)
hosting transit legacy
NETIRD — NetIRD Inc., a Kyoto company founded in 1995, now GMO NetIRD after the IRD group joined the GMO Internet Group in early 2025. It is a B2B infrastructure provider, not a retail ISP.
What it's used for
- IP transit and BGP connectivity for business customers.
- Hosting and system operation out of its own data-centre footprint — the rDNS shows
hosting-gate.netird.ad.jpalongside backbone gateways (bb-gate.netird.ad.jp,otemachi-fastethernet-gate.netird.ad.jp, named for Tokyo's Otemachi carrier hotel). - Large-scale corporate email delivery, its long-standing speciality.
Notable
- Customer networks are visible in the reverse DNS rather than subscriber pools: hosts resolve to third-party domains such as a Kyoto education body's servers and assorted corporate sites. That is the shape of a hosting/transit provider carrying customers, not an eyeball network.
- It also announces part of the
202.79.0.0/20block registered to Kansai Broadband Corp. of Kobe; the rest of that /20 is announced by AS7511 (SYNAPSE). Do not read either AS's geography from that block alone.
Interesting
- "IRD" comes from the group's intellectual-property/rights-management software business, which is why a company that mainly sells transit and mail delivery has a name that says nothing about either.

Reputation
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: 449 networks and 1,846 prefixes, as published 2026-11-02. 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.
