Summary
DTS Systeme GmbH
hosting managed-services legacy
DTS-SYSTEME is the network of DTS Systeme GmbH, an IT service provider and data-centre operator headquartered in Herford, North Rhine-Westphalia. Founded in 1983 and now part of the DTS Group (DTS IT AG), it runs certified data centres in Herford and Hamburg and sells managed hosting, cloud and cyber-security services to German business customers.
What it's used for
Managed hosting and customer connectivity. Around 32,000 IPv4 addresses across seven prefixes, plus IPv6, with 108 observed BGP neighbours — a well-peered regional provider rather than a transit carrier. The sampled reverse DNS shows exactly the pattern you would expect from a system house that also runs a data centre:
- DTS's own infrastructure —
anycast-gw.dts-online.net. - static customer assignments named after the customer's own domain, e.g.
static-IP-ADDR.westfleisch.de(a Münster meat cooperative) andstatic-IP-ADDR.schauinslandreisen.de(a Duisburg tour operator).
Notable
- The customer-named reverse DNS is the key evidence. This space carries other companies' servers and sites under DTS management, which makes it
hostingrather than an enterprise network or an eyeball ISP. There is nodsl-/pppoe-/dyn-naming anywhere. - Prefixes from several different
/8s (81.89,84.201,212.62,212.101) reflect address blocks accumulated over a long operating history, not brokered inventory: they carry DTS's own and its customers' first-party reverse DNS. - The
-online.netdomain is a leftover from DTS's earlier ISP-flavoured branding; the business today is data centre, cloud and security.

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: 445 networks and 1,817 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
