hosting legacy

PAIR-NETWORKS is pair Networks, a Pittsburgh web-hosting company founded in 1996 and one of the longer-running independent hosts in the United States. AS7859 carries its shared hosting, WordPress hosting and virtual-server customers.

What it's used for

  • Web, email and domain hosting out of pair's own Pittsburgh facilities. The space is a set of substantial ARIN blocks — 216.92.0.0/16, 66.39.0.0/17, 209.68.0.0/18 and 216.146.192.0/19 — plus IPv6 2607:f440::/32 and 2607:f441::/32.
  • Reverse DNS is exactly what a shared host looks like: gateway and infrastructure names on pair.net (gw01.pair.net, gw02.pair.net), and customer addresses reversing straight to the hosted domain (mccannadamsstudio.com) or to a pair.com placeholder for unnamed hosts.

Notable

  • This is server address space, not consumer space. An IP here is a website, a mail server or a VPS, and it may be shared by a large number of unrelated sites — so attributing behaviour from a single address to a single site is unreliable in this AS by design.
  • Two distinct domains do the work: pair.net for the infrastructure and pair.com for the customer-facing brand.

Interesting

  • pair Networks was acquired by the Dutch hosting group Your.Online in August 2024, but the ASN, the address blocks and the reverse-DNS zones all still carry the original Pittsburgh identity.
