Summary
INFOSERVE GmbH (eurodata Group)
hosting isp enterprise legacy
AS9188 (INFOSERVE-AS) is held by INFOSERVE GmbH of Saarbrücken, a German IT systems house and managed-service provider. The registry description still carries the old postal code line D-66119 Saarbruecken. INFOSERVE began life as a regional internet service provider and has since become a data-centre and cloud operator; it is part of the eurodata group.
What it's used for
The routing evidence describes a regional hosting and managed-services network. RIS sees 6 IPv4 prefixes covering 14,592 addresses, 2 IPv6 /32s (2a02:a8::/32 and 2a0b:d1c0::/32), and 5 observed BGP neighbours. Five neighbours is a multihomed end-provider, not a carrier — INFOSERVE buys transit and peers lightly, then resells connectivity, colocation and cloud out of its own facilities rather than selling wholesale IP to other networks.
The address inventory has an interesting layered look: an older, larger 212.89.128.0/19 alongside newer, smaller RIPE blocks (31.177.120.0/21, 31.31.208.0/21, two 185.218.5x.0/22s and a single 193.23.134.0/24). Holding two separate IPv6 /32s is unusual for a network this size and generally indicates address space accumulated over time or across group entities rather than a single clean allocation.
Sampled reverse DNS resolves 31.31.208.5 to br02.ffm.eurodata.de — a border router in Frankfurt, named under the parent group's domain. That single PTR is a neat confirmation of the corporate relationship: eurodata infrastructure is numbered out of INFOSERVE's AS.
Notable
- INFOSERVE runs its own data centres in Saarbrücken; eurodata operates certified (ISO 27001 / ISO 22301) data-centre capacity in the same city.
- eurodata builds SaaS for tax advisors, SMEs and retail networks, so a good share of what this AS carries is the group's own hosted software.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-18, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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: 443 networks and 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. 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.
