What is in the RIPE Database?
The RIPE NCC allocates IP addresses and AS numbers for Europe, the Middle East and parts of Central Asia. The RIPE Database records who an address range is allocated to, which autonomous system announces it and who looks after it technically. Network operators use it to coordinate when something goes wrong or a network is being misused.
Other regions have their own registries: ARIN (North America), APNIC (Asia-Pacific), LACNIC (Latin America) and AFRINIC (Africa). If an address belongs to one of them, the RIPE Database only holds a placeholder, and we tell you so.
IP networks, not domains
Who holds a domain is not recorded in the RIPE Database but at the registry of the domain extension; use our domain search for that. The RIPE lookup helps when you want to know who is behind an IP address – for example when unusual requests show up in your server log.
Frequently asked questions
What can I enter?
An IPv4 or IPv6 address (e.g. 193.0.0.0), a prefix (e.g. 2001:67c:2e8::/48), an IPv4 range (e.g. 193.0.0.0 - 193.0.7.255), an AS number (e.g. AS3333) or an AS set (e.g. AS-RIPENCC). We deliberately do not search for people’s names or free text.
Why are email addresses and phone numbers missing?
The RIPE Database only returns some details in filtered form for normal queries, and we deliberately do not load linked contact objects. Full contact details – such as the abuse address – are available through the official RIPE query.
How current is the data?
Every query goes live to the RIPE Database; we do not keep a copy. Changes a network operator makes there show up straight away.
Domains and DNS in good hands
