Summary
ratiokontakt
hosting cloud legacy
ratiokontakt GmbH (ratiokontakt) — a managed-hosting and cloud provider from
Bamberg, Germany, providing internet services since 1996 and running its own data
centre in Nuremberg. Around 74,000 IPv4 addresses, dominated by a legacy
212.223.0.0/16, plus two IPv6 /32s.
What it's used for
- Managed servers, shared and dedicated hosting, email, domains and private/hybrid cloud for German business customers. Tens of thousands of hosted domains sit behind the space.
- The rDNS shows the operator's own core (
ecore.net— a ratiokontakt brand, including its Frankfurt core routers and customer account portal) alongside hosted customer sites and remote-access gateways for managed-IT clients.
Notable
- A
/16is a large block for a company this size, and it is a legacy allocation: the netname records a 1998 registration, from the era when a German ISP could still ask for a Class B. Most of it carries no reverse DNS. - Peering is at DE-CIX and the Nuremberg exchange with an open policy, but the AS has only a handful of transit neighbours — a content/hosting network's shape, not a carrier's.
