About this network

The London point of presence of WHG Hosting Services Ltd, a UK web host that trades as hosting.com following its merger with A2 Hosting. It is the most densely peered member of a twelve-ASN family, one ASN per site.

What it's used for

Shared web hosting, VPS and dedicated servers sold to end customers. The ASN announces 27 IPv4 prefixes totalling 11,520 addresses, sized between /21 and /24, and announces no IPv6 at all.

Notable

• Reverse DNS is unambiguously retail hosting: d858.lon1.mysecurecloudhost.com, d4363.lon1.stableserver.net and d11526.lon1.stableserver.net follow the group's d<n>.<pop>.<brand> convention, with lon1 naming the site.
• A second naming family, nimb9-zoocomms-com.nh-serv.co.uk and nim-corn-early-pine.nh-serv.co.uk, sits on the same ASN, so more than one of the group's hosting brands is served from here.
• 34 observed upstream neighbours, including AS286, AS1299, AS3257 and AS6939. There are no customer ASNs, so this is a hosting network buying transit, not a transit provider.
• Address space is a mix of current WHG-LON1- netnames and four legacy UK-WHGI- blocks.

Interesting

• The aut-num was only registered in 2023, but the netnames it announces are dated 2004, 2007, 2009 and 2011. The ASN is new; the address space behind it is not.
• Those dated netnames read as a growth curve straight out of the registry, since the operator's convention is to end each netname with the date the block was taken on.
• Sibling ASNs in the same family include AS199404 in Mumbai, AS204800 in Singapore and AS216180 in Sydney. A2 Hosting's own ASN is AS55293.
