Summary
Versija SIA (VERnet)
isp hosting legacy
VERSIA is Versija SIA, a Riga-based Latvian internet provider trading as VERnet. It is one of the older commercial networks in Latvia and also carries the heritage of EUnet Latvia, whose domain still appears in its reverse DNS.
What it's used for
- Business-grade internet access, leased connectivity and web hosting for Latvian organisations. The company markets itself around business connectivity rather than mass-market consumer broadband, and the address space shows no dial-up or DSL-style subscriber pools.
- The AS also provides transit to a handful of downstream networks.
Notable
- The core inventory is its own legacy Latvian space:
193.68.64.0/19(registered to the company in 1996), a213.21.192.0/18block and the small194.8.5.0–194.8.8.0range. That is a genuinely early allocation, from the period when a national ISP could still get a large classful-era block. - Reverse DNS is sparse and mixed. Where it exists it lands on Latvian company sites and on
EUnet.lvhosting names such ashost4u.EUnet.lv, which is what a business ISP with a hosting arm looks like.
Interesting
- A few of the announced
/24s are registered to third parties rather than to Versija (a Latvian IT firm, a Latvian LLC, and a Netherlands-registered netname). Most sit inside blocks the company itself holds, so these read as customer sub-assignments, but it does mean individual/24s here should not all be geolocated or attributed to the holder.

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: 431 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
