Network type: hosting

AS8596 announces 2 IPv4 prefixes covering 9,216 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

HOTZE-AS is hotze.com GmbH — an Austrian company based in Innsbruck, Tyrol, despite the German-looking GmbH suffix that leads several databases to file it under Germany. It is a regional IT and connectivity provider for businesses.

What it's used for

• Business internet access, hosting, domains, cloud workplaces, hosted email and VoIP telephony, run out of the company's own Innsbruck data centre.
• About 9,200 IPv4 addresses across two prefixes: the legacy 82.150.192.0/19 and a later 185.74.0.0/22.

Notable

• The sampled address at the head of the block resolves to adns1.hotze.com — a name server, first-party infrastructure. There is no subscriber-pool naming in the sample.
• Thirty-four observed BGP neighbours for a network of this size: hotze.com peers openly at the Vienna Internet Exchange and the local Tirol-IX, which is how a small regional provider keeps Austrian traffic local.
• PeeringDB self-describes the network as "Cable/DSL/ISP" with regional scope, but the company's own product line is squarely business IT and hosting — worth noting because the two descriptions pull in different directions.
