CDN and Hosting

CDN, Hosting and SaaS

Identifying hosting providers and content delivery networks (CDNs) helps classify network traffic and recognize potential threats. The CDN, Hosting, and SaaS data provides the following insights:

• Network ranges
• IPs
• Partner IPs
• Hosted applications

Partner IPs are essential to understanding the network. Akamai's CDN is deployed not only on its extensive global network but also on over 100,000 IPs hosted at ISPs, IXPs, and other hosting providers. Knowing Akamai's ASN is telling only half of the story.

In addition, our unique application and hostname data provides a bird's eye view of application usage on hosting and CDN providers. For example, M247 is the most widely used hosting provider for consumer VPN services. There are dozens of other hosting providers of all shapes and sizes hosting VPN services (top 50).

We're meticulous about our data. Here's an example.

195.238.127.98 sits on a network owned by a regional hosting provider: Melbicom in Vilnius, Lithuania. Our API, along with many other IP APIs, provide the correct ASN data:

However, upon closer inspection, our network intelligence provides more insights. This IP is actually managed by Bunny.net CDN and hosts companies like Home Depot and applications like Streamable.

It's worth noting that other IP APIs have flagged this IP as a VPN node, which is a discrepancy that our data does not reflect. While there are VPN servers on neighboring IP addresses, our data accurately identifies this IP as part of a CDN.
