Summary
Ecritel SASU
hosting legacy
ECRITEL-FRANCE is Ecritel, a French managed-hosting and cloud provider. It runs e-commerce and business platforms for its customers out of its own datacentres, with a footprint in France and further sites abroad.
What it's used for
- Managed and shared hosting. The reverse DNS says so plainly: customer machines resolve under
ecritel.netwith names likeCLUSTER2-FR-VSMUTU003-CUSTOMERNAME-NNN.ECRITEL.NET, whereMUTUis the French abbreviation for mutualisé (shared hosting) and the customer's own name is baked into the hostname. - A large second family of names sits under
oxyd.net(87-252-NNN-NNN.oxyd.net,frontal03.mutu.oxyd.net,sitebuilder2.oxyd.net), the domain of a French hoster now inside Ecritel. Legacy SDSL access names underVISP.SDSL.ECRITEL.NETsurvive from an earlier connectivity business. - Some space carries
client.ecritel.canames, so the AS also fronts the group's Canadian operation.
Notable
- Server space, not eyeball space. Addresses here are shared-hosting front ends, VMs and customer platforms. They geolocate to datacentres, and a single address can sit in front of many customer sites.
- The inventory is broad for the size: dozens of prefixes drawn from several older European blocks (
87.252.0.0/19,213.182.32.0/19,213.218.128.0/19) plus ARIN-registered ranges for the North American side. - Because it is shared hosting, individual addresses should not be attributed to a single organisation on the strength of one reverse name.

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: 436 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
