Summary
team.blue Internet Services UK (Namesco)
hosting legacy
ISIONUK — today team blue internet services UK Limited, the UK arm of the European hosting group team.blue. The network is better known by the brand that still owns its rDNS: Namesco (names.co.uk), a Worcester-based web host and domain registrar.
What it's used for
- Shared and managed web hosting. About 41,000 IPv4 addresses across five prefixes plus an IPv6 /32, with a single BGP neighbour — a hosting network sitting behind its upstream, not a transit provider.
- The rDNS is unmistakably hosting infrastructure under
namesco.net: database servers (mysql1-remote), backup hosts, monitoring, mail and named edge/aggregation routers. Customer-facing space is generated asN.PREFIX-DASHED.ippool.namesco.net— shared hosting IP pools, one PTR per address. - A second pool zone,
ippool.ndo.com, covers the212.84.96.0/19and belongs to an acquired ISP whose naming was never migrated.
Notable
- Hosting, not access. There is no dynamic, DSL or PPPoE subscriber naming anywhere in the space — every address is either a named server or a slot in a shared-hosting pool.
- The handle is a fossil twice over.
ISIONUKrefers to Ision, an early European hosting company long since absorbed; the legal holder is now team.blue; and the rDNS still says Namesco. Three generations of owner, one AS number.
Interesting
- team.blue was assembled from dozens of national hosting and registrar brands across Europe. The group's strategy of keeping local brands alive is why the registry, the DNS and the marketing all name different companies here.

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: 455 networks and 1,854 prefixes, as published 2026-11-09. 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.
