Hosting RIPE
Summary
Basefarm Sweden (Orange Business)
hosting enterprise legacy
BASEFARM-SE-ASN is the Stockholm network of Basefarm, a Nordic managed hosting and cloud operator. The AS is now registered to Orange Business Digital Sweden AB: Basefarm was acquired by Orange Business Services, and the handle has outlived the independent brand.
What it's used for
- Managed hosting and application operations for Nordic enterprise and public sector customers — load-balanced application front ends, APIs and the supporting platform.
- About 6,600 addresses across four prefixes (
80.76.144.0/20is the largest) plus an IPv6 /32.
Notable
- rDNS is uniformly
sth.basefarm.net— the Stockholm site — and the names are those of a managed-service platform rather than of an ISP: load-balancer VIPs fronting customer applications, edge gateways, and the operator's own office NAT. There is no subscriber, dynamic or residential naming anywhere. - Seven observed BGP neighbours and no downstream networks: this is a destination network, not transit.
Interesting
- The customer-facing VIP names in the block are Swedish public-service applications, which is the shape of Basefarm's business — running other organisations' critical systems rather than selling raw capacity.

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: 448 networks and 1,851 prefixes, as published 2026-11-03. 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.
