I have had a couple encounters with this spammer, but only one where they left an actual IP for me to ban. The rest I have only the host name, much more difficult to track down.
Research them and you will know they are a formidable entity to track and ban. There is a lot of IP ranges to cover.
Observation:
hosted-by.leaseweb.com confirmed because they spammed me, so I have their IP address

best-hosting.simplexhost.net is a prolific content spammer, and a true chameleon, as it changes IP addresses very often. Look up its hostname and you will get 62.210.24.146, but ban this ip or even range and best-hosting.simplexhost.net spamming simply will not stop. This is good for fooling anti-bot engines.
Observed:
62.210.24.146 62.210.0.0 – 62.210.127.255 Iliad is a spoof and has nothing to do with best-hosting.simplexhost.net
