About this network

The largest ASN in the WHG Hosting Services / hosting.com family, covering the group's Frankfurt site and also carrying its Netherlands site naming. It is the only member of the family with customer ASNs of its own.

What it's used for

Shared web hosting, VPS and dedicated servers. The ASN announces 34 IPv4 prefixes totalling 25,344 addresses, sized /20 through /24, the biggest footprint of any ASN in the family. No IPv6 is announced.

Notable

• Two customers sit behind it: AS213183, its own sibling in Luxembourg, and AS212124, Upmind Automation Ltd, a hosting billing platform. Transiting a sibling and an industry peer is not the same thing as being a transit provider.
• 46 observed upstream neighbours, the widest transit mix in the family.
• Like AS204800, it carries A2 Hosting's identity: netnames A2HOS, US-A2HOS-20041126, US-A2HOS-20160303, US-A2HOS-20160406 and US-A2HOS-20160906, plus one WHG-FRA1-6.
• Reverse DNS mixes both estates: d13621.fra1.stableserver.net on the WHG side, and router.a2hosting.com, 185.141.188.1.static.a2webhosting.com on the A2 side.

Interesting

• The AS name says Frankfurt, but much of the reverse DNS is NL1 naming, for example vip501.NL1-C1-0407010209-45.a2webhosting.com and xe-0-1-6.0.NL1-E5-0407010209-44.a2webhosting.com. One ASN covers more than the site its name advertises, so the name is a label rather than a location.
• The A2 netnames are dated 2004 and 2016, tracking address space that changed hands rather than space newly assigned to this ASN in 2019.
• A2 Hosting's own ASN is AS55293.
