Summary
SimpleCloud (Li-Jing Info Limited)
hosting legacy
AS9917 (SIMPLECLOUD-AS-TW) is held by Li-Jing Info Limited (立京資訊有限公司), a Taiwanese company trading as SimpleCloud. SimpleCloud sells SSD-backed cloud VPS hosting to developers, with plans differentiated by CPU, RAM, storage and bandwidth and a web control panel — a small independent virtual-server provider rather than a telco or an access network.
What it's used for
Virtual-server hosting, and the routing evidence matches the product exactly. RIS sees a single IPv4 prefix, 157.20.108.0/23 (512 addresses), no IPv6 announced, and 6 observed BGP neighbours. A 512-address pool is enough to give every VPS a public IPv4 address and nothing more, which is the natural footprint of a boutique cloud provider. Six neighbours on that tiny inventory is again peering-rich for the size: PeeringDB shows the network on a 200M port at TPIX, the Taipei Internet Exchange, in the Chief LY Building, peering openly and using the exchange's route servers.
The reverse DNS is a clean, machine-generated template — 157-20-108-5.ipv4.as9917.net — with the ASN itself baked into the domain. That is a hosting provider's default PTR scheme: every address gets an auto-derived name so that customer VMs have working reverse DNS out of the box, and customers who care override it.
Notable
- PeeringDB self-classifies AS9917 as an "Enterprise" network, which undersells it; the public product is straightforwardly VPS hosting.
- IPv6 is registered in the PeeringDB record but no v6 prefix is actually seen in the routing table from this ASN.
- SimpleCloud shares its facility and exchange with other small Taipei networks, including AS9915.

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: 447 networks and 1,843 prefixes, as published 2026-11-02. 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.
