AS8460 ONSAKH-AS Hosting and Service Provaiding

OnSakh (OnSakh-AS) — a very small network on Sakhalin Island, registered to an

individual entrepreneur (PE Nikonov Evgeniy Vitalevich) rather than a company.

The RIPE object describes itself, typo and all, as *"Hosting and Service

Provaiding"*.

What it's used for

• A single provider-independent /24 — 256 addresses, the smallest routable footprint there is — announced through a single upstream, the local Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk operator [AS8440](https://asn.ipinfo.app/AS8440).
• No reverse DNS is published on any address in the prefix, so the hosting claim in the registry cannot be corroborated from the network itself.

Notable

• One prefix, one upstream, one RIR, one registrant. This is not the scattered multi-RIR shape of an address broker; it is a genuine small local network that simply publishes nothing about itself.
• Confidence in the hosting label is low, and rests entirely on the operator's own registry remark.

Interesting

• A one-person AS is a reminder that the routing table's long tail is full of networks smaller than a single office, kept alive because portable address space and an AS number are cheaper than renumbering.
