Summary
SAKURA Internet
cloud hosting vps
One of the primary Autonomous Systems of SAKURA Internet, a major Japanese hosting and cloud provider (SAKURA-A). Addresses here belong to its shared hosting, VPS, dedicated server, and cloud (Sakura Cloud) infrastructure.
What it's used for
- Hosting websites, applications, and cloud servers for Japanese businesses and developers out of Sakura's own data centers (Tokyo, Osaka, Ishikari).
Notable
- An IP here identifies Sakura as the host, not the operator of whatever runs on it.
- Sakura splits announcements across sibling ASNs — see AS9370 (
SAKURA-B) and AS9371 (SAKURA-C): AS9370, AS9371.
Interesting
- Founded in 1996, Sakura is one of Japan's oldest independent hosting companies and runs a large renewable-powered data center in Ishikari, Hokkaido.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-26, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
