About this network
AS9558 (PRIMECROWN-AS-IN) is held by PrimeCrown Technologies Private Limited, a cloud and infrastructure-as-a-service provider based in Kochi, Kerala. It sells dedicated servers, cloud hosting and data-centre services, and this AS is the network those services run on.
What it's used for
At first glance the address footprint has an awkward shape: 7 IPv4 prefixes totalling just 1,792 addresses, every one a /24, and drawn from two different regional registries at once — APNIC space (157.119.24.0/24, 157.119.25.0/24, 103.209.182.0/24) sitting alongside RIPE space (194.24.250.0/24, 194.24.251.0/24, 217.195.144.0/24, 217.195.145.0/24). The IPv6 is likewise European: three /44s under 2a06:2340:: and a 2a0d:9e40::/36.
That pattern can be a warning sign, but here it has a straightforward explanation. PrimeCrown runs points of presence in several countries, so it holds address space in the registries that serve them, and the reverse DNS confirms the network is genuinely its own: addresses resolve to static.primecrown.net, with a customer domain appearing on one of them, exactly as you would expect on a hosting provider's space.
The 29 observed BGP neighbours are the strongest signal. That is a great deal of interconnection for under 2,000 addresses, and it means this network peers aggressively. Hosting providers do that because their traffic is predominantly outbound — servers sending to users — and every direct peer is a cheaper, shorter path off the network.
Notable
- The IPv6 allocations are far larger than the IPv4 estate, which is typical of a provider that built out v6 after v4 had already run short.
- The low AS number is a legacy artifact and does not reflect the age of the current operator.
