AS29006 — POBOX-AS

Network type: hosting

AS29006 announces 2 IPv4 prefixes covering 8,192 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

POBOX-AS is operated by Acora Limited, also known as PoBox Hosting.

What it's used for

• The address space carries hosting and VPN services, evidenced by the reverse DNS entry sslvpn254.poboxhosting.co.uk and the AS handle POBOX-AS.
• The AS announces 8192 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining 80 observed neighbours. This ratio of a modest address inventory against a high number of peering partners suggests a transit or interconnection-heavy role rather than a large-scale access network.

Notable

• The RDAP registrants for both announced IPv4 prefixes (UK-BISNET-20030505 and UK-BISNET-20031017) are listed as Acora Limited, which aligns with the current AS holder.
• Secondary sources indicate that Acora Limited was acquired by David Rabson in 2008, and the company is also associated with the name PoBox Hosting.
• The inventory consists of two /20 IPv4 blocks and a single /36 IPv6 block, all located in the United Kingdom.
