Summary
atom86
business hosting transit legacy
atom86 BV (ATOM86-AS) — a Dutch connectivity provider based around Amsterdam, selling IP transit, datacentre and cloud interconnect, and colocation across Netherlands datacentres.
What it's used for
- Corporate connectivity and hosted infrastructure for business customers. The rDNS is unusually revealing: addresses are named for the customer, in the form
hostNNN.customername.atom86.net, alongside customer-owned domains on atom86-announced space. - Backbone and platform hosts sit directly under
atom86.net(atoprt2sbp.atom86.netand similar router names).
Notable
- Not an eyeball network — no dynamic subscriber pools anywhere in the inventory. The addresses are enterprise sites, hosted servers and colocated gear.
- Heavily peered for its size: only around 19,000 IPv4 addresses, but hundreds of observed BGP neighbours, consistent with an AMS-IX-centric transit and interconnect business.
Interesting
- The customer-in-the-hostname rDNS convention makes the AS an unusually legible read on who a mid-size Dutch business ISP actually serves.

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.
