Support BGPHorizon
BGPHorizon is independently run and free to use. Sponsorships and contributions keep it online, cover the cost of storing years of BGP history, and fund what comes next.
Contribute financially
Every contribution through Buy Me a Coffee goes straight back into the platform:
- Hosting and colocation costs
- New disk drives to extend BGP history and retention
- Additional servers to keep things fast
- A future global VPS probe network we want to build out
We are also working toward our own ASN, which will let networks contribute BGP data by peering with us directly. It is another simple way to help the platform grow.
Donate equipment or data
Equipment and data contributions are welcome too. Servers, drives, and networking gear help us collect and keep more routing data, and organizations can sponsor their own BGP data by sharing a feed or route collector. If you have hardware or data to contribute, reach out and we will sort out the details.

BGP Data Sources
Route Views Project
University of Oregon Route Views project provides BGP routing data from multiple vantage points worldwide.
www.routeviews.org
RIPE RIS
The RIPE Routing Information Service (RIS) is a RIPE NCC service. With the help of network operators all over the world, RIS employs a globally distributed set of Remote Route Collectors (RRCs), typically located at Internet Exchange Points, to collect and store Internet routing data. Volunteers peer with the RRCs using the BGP protocol and RIS stores the update and withdraw messages.
