AS8856 UKRNET Kiev, Ukraine
Hosting RIPE
Summary
UkrNet
hosting content legacy
UKRNET is UkrNet Ltd. of Kyiv, the company behind ukr.net — one of
Ukraine's oldest and most-used web properties, best known for its news portal and
its free mail.ukr.net webmail service.
What it's used for
- Serving UkrNet's own products rather than selling access. The sampled reverse names are all content and platform infrastructure:
srv1.fwdcdn.comandns1.fwdcdn.net(the CDN and nameservers behind the portal's static assets and mail attachments) andadriver1.ukr.net(ad serving). - Mail, portal, CDN and the associated hosting and cloud services UkrNet sells to Ukrainian businesses.
Notable
- About 6.1k IPv4 addresses across 17 prefixes, drawn from two legacy ranges (
212.42.64.0/19and195.214.192.0/22) and deaggregated into /23s and /24s. Seven observed BGP neighbours. No IPv6. - Content network, not an eyeball network. Despite the "net" in the name and a history stretching back to the early Ukrainian internet, there is no subscriber, DSL or dynamic-pool naming in the space.
- The
fwdcdn.com/fwdcdn.netdomains are UkrNet's own; a reverse lookup landing there is still inside this operator, not a third-party CDN.
