IP ranges in Malta

This page lists the IPv4 address blocks registered to organisations in Malta and checks single addresses. The basics of IP addresses, masks and subnets are in Networks; the other countries are in IP ranges by country.

Malta in numbers

The 48 countries here hold 725,908,608 IPv4 addresses; Malta has 674,176 in 119 blocks, 0.0929% of the total, rank 40 of 48. The country just above it is North Macedonia with 685,568 addresses (0.0944%), the one just below Armenia with 663,328 addresses (0.0914%). There are 119 blocks: 94 allocated (79.0%) and 25 assigned (21.0%). The oldest block was delegated in 1991 and the newest in 2024; 2005 is the year with the most new blocks. The largest share of the addresses, 418,816 of 674,176 (62.1%), came in the 2000s. The same RIPE file lists 26 IPv6 prefixes and 52 AS numbers for Malta.

Check an IP address

Type an IPv4 address. The answer comes from the Sypex Geo database on this server; like every geolocation database it can be wrong, especially about the city.

Where the list comes from

IP addresses are handed out by five regional internet registries. For Malta the registry is RIPE NCC, which publishes every day which address blocks it has delegated to which country. A block registered in Malta is usually used there, but not always: a company may use its addresses abroad, and a VPN makes any visitor look like someone else.

The table below is the RIPE file of 2026-10-29: 119 blocks with 674,176 addresses. The largest block holds 65,536 addresses and starts at 46.11.0.0.

Get the list yourself

Download the statistics file of RIPE NCC:

curl -s -O https://ftp.ripe.net/pub/stats/ripencc/delegated-ripencc-latest

The first line says when it was made; the sixth field is the date:

head -1 delegated-ripencc-latest

2|ripencc|1793314799|167770|19700101|20261029|+0100

Each later line is one block: registry, country, type, first address, number of addresses, date and status. The IPv4 blocks of Malta, sorted by first address:

awk -F'|' '$2=="MT" && $3=="ipv4"' delegated-ripencc-latest | sort -t'|' -k1,1V | head -3

ripencc|MT|ipv4|2.152.72.0|256|20101103|allocated ripencc|MT|ipv4|37.75.32.0|8192|20120130|allocated ripencc|MT|ipv4|37.114.72.0|2048|20120210|allocated

How many blocks, and how many addresses they hold together:

awk -F'|' '$2=="MT" && $3=="ipv4"' delegated-ripencc-latest | wc -l

119

awk -F'|' '$2=="MT" && $3=="ipv4" {s+=$5} END {print s}' delegated-ripencc-latest

674176

allocated means RIPE gave the block to a provider (a LIR) to hand out further; assigned means it went to an end user directly.

Who owns a block

The statistics name no owners. The RIPE database does: ask it with whois for any address of a block, and look at the lines netname, descr and org:

whois 46.11.0.1

All IPv4 blocks in Malta

From the RIPE file of 2026-10-29, sorted by address. The last address is the first one plus the size minus one.
