What is an Internet Service Provider (ISP)?
An Internet Service Provider (ISP) is a company that provides individuals, organizations, and businesses with access to the Internet. ISPs operate massive backbone networks, fiber cables, and satellite links that bridge the gap between your local router and the global internet infrastructure.

ISPs are responsible for dynamic or static IP address allocation using DHCP servers. Every packet you transmit over the internet flows through your ISP's gateway routers, where it is routed along optimal paths to reach its global destination.
What is an ASN (Autonomous System Number)?
An Autonomous System Number (ASN) is a unique global identifier assigned to a network or group of networks that are managed by a single organization (such as an ISP, university, major corporation, or cloud provider like Google or Amazon).

Autonomous Systems communicate with each other using the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). An ASN is crucial because it allows global internet routing tables to guide data packets directly to your provider's network block instead of searching through billions of individual IP addresses.
Static vs Dynamic ISP IP Allocation
Most home networks are assigned a dynamic IP address by their ISP. This means the IP address shifts periodically or resets whenever your router restarts, allowing ISPs to recycle unused IP blocks.

In contrast, businesses and servers require a static IP address that never changes. Static IPs are essential for running web servers, hostnames, and secure remote VPN systems.

ISP & Network FAQs

Answers to common questions about ISPs, ASNs, and routing

Your ISP name is resolved by cross-referencing your IP address with global IP registry records (like RIPE, APNIC, ARIN). These registries allocate specific blocks of IP addresses to Internet Service Providers. By mapping your IP to the owner of that block, we instantly detect your ISP name.

The ISP is the company that bills you for your internet access (e.g. Comcast, BT, or local providers). The AS (Autonomous System) Name is the technical organization registered globally to route those IP blocks. In many cases, they are identical, but smaller ISPs might lease bandwidth and route traffic through a larger provider's AS.

If your ISP name shows a different provider, you might be connected to a VPN, Proxy, or Tor relay which routes your traffic through another company's data center. If it is 'Unknown', it usually means you are looking up a private range IP (like 192.168.1.1) which belongs to your local router rather than a public ISP.

Yes. Because all your internet traffic flows through your ISP's physical gateway routers, they can log the IP addresses and domain names you visit. However, if you visit websites using HTTPS (SSL), the contents of your communications (passwords, messages, specific pages) remain encrypted and hidden from them. Using a VPN prevents your ISP from seeing any domains you visit.

The usage type represents how the IP address block is deployed by the ISP. Typical usage types include: Consumer/Broadband (home users), Corporate (business offices), Data Center/Content (servers/cloud providers), and Mobile (cellular networks).

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) distributes large blocks of IP addresses to Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) such as ARIN, RIPE, and APNIC. These regional registries then distribute smaller blocks directly to ISPs, hosting providers, and organizations in their regions.
