Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Redcentric Solutions (Hotchilli)
enterprise legacy
HOTCHILLI is held today by Redcentric Solutions Ltd, a UK managed service provider selling network, cloud and IT services to businesses and public-sector bodies. The handle is a fossil of Hotchilli Internet, the ISP whose network this originally was; Redcentric's main autonomous system is a different one.
What it's used for
- Business connectivity and hosted services for Redcentric's customers. The reverse DNS names the acquired brands rather than the parent: hosts resolve under
hotchilli.net(including its RADIUS and back-office machines),dxi-static-NNN-NN.dxi.neton static customer assignments, and access pools undervirtelco.com. - Roughly 49,000 IPv4 addresses across five prefixes, plus a
/32of IPv6.
Notable
- A handle that outlived its holder. Reading the AS name gives you a defunct consumer-ish ISP brand; the operator is an enterprise MSP, and the space is business and managed-service address space, not eyeball broadband.
- Large parts of the range have no reverse DNS at all, and some carries literal
no-dns-yetplaceholder names, which suggests assignments handed out and never fully populated. - The AS is essentially single-homed and sits behind Redcentric's main network, which is where the group's transit and peering actually live.
Interesting
- Three separate ISP brands survive in the reverse DNS of one AS. Each acquisition left its naming behind, so the rDNS is a clearer record of UK ISP consolidation than any of the company registries are.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-18, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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: 442 networks and 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. 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.
