HostScout Verification: Canadian Ownership & Infrastructure
Separating the legal operator, network control, facility footprint and actual packet paths.
Canadian legal operator and ARIN identity
FullHost is operated by Pretecs Networks Inc. DBA FullHost. ARIN assigns AS39962 to OrgID PNM-15, with the organization address at 300-1095 McKenzie Ave in Victoria, British Columbia.
Independent network and routed address space
AS39962 is the FullHost routing domain. The September audit snapshot shows 15 originated IPv4 prefixes, one IPv6 prefix, 4,864 IPv4 addresses and the native 2604:f680::/40 IPv6 allocation.
Canadian hosting footprint across four published locations
FullHost currently publishes facility pages for Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal. The specific addresses are all in Canada, while the company states that it operates its own servers and network components inside those facilities.
Route behaviour verified separately from data-centre location
The saved MTR records show different path choices by source network. One Montreal path remained on Canadian exchange and Shaw infrastructure, while other Toronto and Montreal samples crossed Chicago or Seattle before reaching the FullHost Vancouver target.
AS39962 Backbone: Astute Internet (AS54527) & OVHcloud (AS16276)
Current BGP relationship snapshots identify Astute Internet and OVH SAS as direct upstreams for AS39962. The route measurements below are kept separate because a direct upstream relationship does not tell us which transit path a specific Canadian user will actually take to a FullHost server.
ICMP-Responsive Address Samples in AS39962
The recent ASN scan reported 16 responding addresses. These selected samples show where the scan observed responsive FullHost IPs; they are probe-to-IP measurements, not website performance scores.

ARIN / Network Registry Record
AS39962 · PNM-15 · PRETECSAbout FullHost: Technical Architecture FAQ
Short answers based on the same network, facility and route evidence used throughout this page.
Who legally operates FullHost?
FullHost is operated by Pretecs Networks Inc. DBA FullHost. The company publishes its mailing address at 300-1095 McKenzie Ave in Victoria, British Columbia, and ARIN ties AS39962 to OrgID PNM-15.
What network resources does AS39962 originate?
The September 14 audit snapshot shows 15 IPv4 prefixes, one IPv6 prefix, 19 /24-equivalents of IPv4 space and 256 /48-equivalents of IPv6 space. The native IPv6 route is 2604:f680::/40.
Which upstream networks currently connect directly to AS39962?
The current BGP relationship view used for this page identifies Astute Internet (AS54527) and OVH SAS (AS16276) as the direct upstreams. Relationship databases can classify or refresh adjacencies differently, so HostScout keeps this separate from the actual MTR paths.
Do FullHost routes always remain inside Canada?
No. The data-centre locations in this profile are Canadian, but route choice depends on the source network. One Montreal MTR sample stayed on Canadian Toronto Internet Exchange and Shaw infrastructure, while other samples crossed Chicago or Seattle before reaching FullHost in Vancouver.
How many Canadian facility locations does FullHost currently publish?
FullHost currently publishes dedicated facility pages for Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal. Some older or more general FullHost copy still mentions only Vancouver and Toronto, so product availability should be confirmed by service rather than assuming every product is deployed in all four locations.
Why can IPv4 totals differ between ASN tools?
Registry netblocks, originated address space and raw BGP prefix rows are different datasets. FullHost announces aggregate routes and more-specific routes, so simply adding every visible prefix row can double-count space. This audit uses the 4,864-address originated footprint rather than summing overlapping route rows.
Does HostScout have first-hand experience with FullHost?
Yes. HostScout has used FullHost for hosting, domains, support and migrations. The previous review recorded generally fast support, a site migration completed in roughly 12 hours without visible downtime, and one slower domain ticket that was ultimately traced to credit-card verification rather than a FullHost service failure.
