Last reviewed: 30 July 2026. When a hosting buyer asks who owns the network behind StreamData Networks, the useful answer is not a single brand name. A hosting service is normally assembled from several layers: the customer-facing brand, the legal contracting entity, the autonomous system that announces IP space, the carriers that carry traffic, the data-centre facility, and the security providers protecting the route. StreamData and Advika are connected across those layers, but the connection should be described precisely.
The practical answer: StreamData Networks is the customer-facing hosting catalogue and order path, while the public Internet routing identity examined in this article is Advika Web Developments Hosting Pvt Ltd, AS135682. The facility and certificate layer is separate again: Advika says its infrastructure operates from Yotta Data Centre, and the certificates displayed on Advika’s website are held by Yotta for the relevant facility—not by StreamData or Advika directly.
StreamData is the service layer customers see
StreamData Networks publishes VPS, Ryzen 9 9950X VPS, dedicated-server and protected-network hosting offers. Its current site describes KVM virtualisation, RAID SSD/NVMe storage, 1/10G port options where available, India-focused locations and a move-up path from virtual machines to bare metal. This is the commercial layer: plan names, specifications, pricing, order links, support intake and content that helps customers choose a deployment.
A commercial hosting brand does not need a unique ASN for every product line. Multiple brands can sell services delivered through one operator network, and one network can also carry customer prefixes, partner traffic or services hosted in multiple facilities. The ASN record is therefore a stronger indicator of who operates the routing policy than the logo shown on the invoice page.
The network identity is Advika AS135682
The public APNIC RDAP record and independent BGP views identify autonomous system AS135682 as Advika Web Developments Hosting Pvt Ltd. An autonomous system number is the identifier used by a network to exchange routing information with other networks through BGP. It does not prove ownership of a building or every server, but it does identify the administrative routing domain responsible for announcing routes under that ASN.
At the time of review, BGP.Tools showed AS135682 as active and allocated under APNIC, with 11 originated IPv4 prefixes, no originated IPv6 prefixes, three upstream carriers and a wider set of observed peers. The three upstreams listed there were Cloudflare (AS13335), Tata Communications (AS4755) and Bharti Airtel (AS9498). Hurricane Electric’s BGP view also showed the ASN at Indian exchanges including DE-CIX Mumbai and Extreme IX locations in Delhi and Mumbai. These counts are live observations, not permanent specifications, so buyers should re-check them before procurement.
What the routing record proves
- AS135682 is a real, publicly visible autonomous system associated with Advika Web Developments Hosting Pvt Ltd.
- The network originates routable IPv4 space and maintains external BGP connectivity.
- Public routing tools can independently observe upstreams, peers, route objects and RPKI status.
- The network layer can be evaluated separately from the StreamData storefront.
What the routing record does not prove
- That Advika owns the land or building housing every server.
- That every StreamData plan is provisioned in the same city, facility, rack or network segment.
- That every upstream or peer is used for every destination at every moment.
- That a specific DDoS threshold, latency or uptime figure applies unless it appears in the signed service scope.
Why StreamData and Advika appear together
The relationship is visible on the companies’ own sites. Advika’s navigation currently sends its “Manage Hosting” action to the StreamData Networks ordering environment. StreamData’s site, in turn, markets services that depend on the network, facility and partner ecosystem described by Advika. The clearest operational reading is that StreamData is a customer-facing hosting brand/store built on the broader Advika operating platform.
That is an operating description, not a substitute for a legal-group chart. The exact entity responsible for billing, tax, support, data processing and service credits must be taken from the quotation, invoice, master service agreement and privacy terms. Buyers should not infer that every Advika-branded company name is interchangeable.
The facility layer is Yotta, according to Advika
Advika’s current website states that its infrastructure runs from Yotta Data Centre. It also includes an unusually important clarification: the displayed ISO and government documents are held by Yotta for the facility, not issued directly to Advika. That distinction matters. A tenant can legitimately operate equipment from a certified facility, but it should describe the certificate as facility assurance rather than its own corporate certification.
This also explains why “network ownership” and “data-centre ownership” are different questions. Advika can operate AS135682, own or control servers and routing equipment, and deliver services from space inside a third-party facility. That is a normal colocation model. The buyer’s job is to learn which layer is owned, leased, managed or supplied by a partner.
How DDoS protection fits into the stack
StreamData positions protected-network hosting as part of its service. Advika’s site describes Cloudflare-powered DDoS protection, while a separate StormWall case study describes BGP-based protection for Advika Data Center Services Pvt Ltd. The case study says Advika faced more than 1,000 attacks in one day in May 2026, with several exceeding 40 Gbps, and reports no significant customer downtime during that event.
Those sources show that protection is delivered through multiple network-security relationships. They do not justify promising that every plan has identical mitigation, that all attack types are covered, or that downtime is impossible. Before ordering, ask which prefixes are protected, whether mitigation is always-on or on-demand, which protocols are covered, what happens to legitimate traffic during scrubbing, and whether Layer 7 protection is included.
A five-minute verification workflow
- Open the AS135682 page on BGP.Tools and confirm the ASN name, current prefixes and upstreams.
- Check PeeringDB for the network’s self-published policy, exchange presence and contact metadata.
- Resolve the IP address of the exact server or test endpoint you are buying, then look up the origin ASN. Do not assume the website’s ASN is the same as the purchased server’s ASN.
- Run traceroutes from the user regions and ISPs that matter to your workload. One test from one broadband connection is not enough.
- Match the legal name on the quote with the entity that accepts payment and the entity named in the SLA.
What buyers should ask StreamData before payment
- Which legal entity will issue the invoice and sign the service agreement?
- Which city, facility and ASN will carry this exact plan?
- Is the IP space provider-owned, customer-routed or supplied by another network?
- Which DDoS platform and protection policy applies to this product?
- Are bandwidth, port speed and transfer allowance dedicated, shared or burstable?
- Who owns the server hardware, and who performs remote hands and replacement?
- Which facility certificates currently cover the exact site where the workload will run?
- What are the backup, restoration, incident-communication and service-credit terms?
Bottom line
The network behind StreamData Networks is not an anonymous reseller path. Public routing data points to Advika’s AS135682 as the operating network identity, while StreamData provides the customer-facing hosting catalogue and order flow. The physical facility and certificate layer is supplied through Yotta, and DDoS protection involves external network-security partners. That layered model is normal; the important part is that each layer is named accurately and verified independently.
