About this network

A hosting company whose only block is labelled with its carrier's own filing system.

What it's used for

• A web hosting company's network. 256 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The whole footprint is 66.170.134.0/24, carrying the netname LVLT-ORG-66-170-128 and registered to a carrier.
• The address in that netname is a parent range rather than this block.
• The AS handle is HOSTDESIGNS, the company name run together without separators.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• The same carrier label appears on a city government's block elsewhere in this sweep, with a different parent address, which confirms it is an internal organisational marker rather than anything descriptive. Assignments out of a large legacy allocation inherit the parent's number, so the digits describe the paperwork.
• A hosting company with nothing published in the reverse DNS is unusual, because named hosts are how customers reach what they are paying for. Whatever runs here is reached by another route.
• The AS record is the only field naming the company, which puts the business one lookup further away than its addresses suggest.
• Two upstreams and no IPv6 on a network selling other people's presence on the internet.
