The number AS45179 was assigned to SITEHOST-AS-AP SiteHost New Zealand by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

What it means to see AS45179 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS45179. That means the other end sits on the SITEHOST-AS-AP SiteHost New Zealand network (New Zealand). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
