About this network

NETMINDERS is Netminders Server Hosting, a Canadian hosting provider selling dedicated servers, colocation and related managed hosting. ARIN registered this ASN to Netminders in 2019, so the low number is a reassignment and carries no early-internet history.

What it's used for

• Announcing the address space behind Netminders' dedicated-server and colocation customers, spread across roughly thirty small IPv4 blocks plus IPv6.
• Reverse DNS on the space resolves to a grab-bag of unrelated customer domains, the signature of a shared hosting/dedicated-server estate rather than an eyeball or enterprise network.

Notable

• The registrant address is a Markham, Ontario mailbox; the company presents itself publicly as a Toronto-area hosting operation.
• Netminders holds several other ASNs alongside this one, a common pattern for hosts that pick up numbers with acquired address space.
