About this network

HOSTIT-MK-AS is operated by nLighten, a UK-based hosting and internet service provider formerly known as Nuco Technologies Ltd.

What it's used for

• The address space carries hosting and business connectivity, evidenced by reverse DNS entries pointing to rdns.host-it.co.uk and rdns.mkdc.co.uk, alongside netnames such as UK-NUCO-TECHNOLOGIES and Host-IT.
• The AS announces 18,944 IPv4 addresses across 25 prefixes and 4 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining 139 observed neighbours; this ratio of moderate address space against a high neighbour count indicates a role focused on transit and interconnection rather than large-scale residential access.
• Traffic from this AS consists of web and API endpoints, dedicated hosting servers, and business connectivity for clients utilizing the provider's data centre and hosting services.

Notable

• Registrants for the majority of prefixes are listed as nLighten Network Operations; Nuco Technologies Ltd, aligning with the current operator identity, while one prefix (193.142.192.0/22) is registered to IS Oxford Ltd.
• The operator rebranded from Nuco Technologies Ltd to nLighten, a transformation highlighted in their 2024 brand update, and previously acquired the hosting assets of Bucks Net Services Ltd in 2021.
• The inventory includes a mix of /21, /22, /23, and /24 blocks, with some prefixes retaining legacy netnames from the Nuco Technologies era.
