About this network

SECUREINDEPENDENCE is Secure Independence, Inc, a small hosting company based in Henderson, Nevada, offering colocation, web hosting and web design. The handle sounds like a security vendor; the business behind it is a regional web host.

What it's used for

• Shared and colocated hosting. The AS announces a single /21, 204.246.152.0/21 — 2,048 addresses — registered in ARIN to Secure Independence itself, so the space is first-party.
• The reverse DNS confirms what the space carries rather than merely who holds it: mail.nypwh.com is a customer's mail host, and 204-246-156-5.static.ttlvhost.net is a generated static-hosting hostname. Both are the fingerprints of a server estate handing addresses to hosted sites and mailboxes, not of an access network handing them to subscribers.

Notable

• One observed neighbour. A hosting company with a single upstream is running the minimum viable BGP setup: it holds portable address space so it can move providers without renumbering, and that, rather than multihoming or peering, is usually the real reason a shop this size runs an AS at all.
• 2,048 addresses is enough for a few racks of shared-hosting and colocation servers, which is consistent with the company's own description of itself and with the density of unrelated customer domains visible in its space.

Interesting

• The /21 is the whole network — no IPv6, no secondary blocks, no more-specific announcements. A single clean aggregate from a single RIR is the opposite of the scattered, multi-registrant inventory that signals leased or brokered address space.
