About this network

Three contacts on one block, and each of them is a different company.

What it's used for

• A hosting company's network. A single IPv4 prefix announced from the United Kingdom, no IPv6, two hundred and fifty-six addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• The block lists three entries. The first is the holder, under its full registered name with the country abbreviation in brackets. The second is a two-character brand that appears nowhere else. The third is a three-letter abbreviation with the registry's own field name for an abuse contact stuck on the end.
• None of the three shares a word with either of the others.
• The netname is a country code, the holder's initials, and a date written with a two-digit year, so it is the only field that agrees with the holder at all.
• The AS handle is those same two initials and the country abbreviation, which makes it the shortest label in the record and the least searchable.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Hosting companies get bought, and the buyer inherits the registry entries rather than rewriting them. Three unrelated names on one block is what two acquisitions look like from the outside.
• Appending a schema field name to a contact label happens when someone copies the form's own wording into the answer. It is small, wrong, and permanent.
