IPv4 Leasing Explained
IPv4 leasing has become an increasingly popular alternative to purchasing, offering flexibility and lower upfront costs. Here is everything you need to know.
How IPv4 Leasing Works
When you lease IPv4 addresses, you pay a recurring fee (monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually) for the right to use the addresses. The addresses remain owned by the lessor but are announced from your network.
Pricing Structure
Lease prices are typically quoted per subnet per month. Longer commitments usually offer discounts:
- Monthly: Highest per-month cost, maximum flexibility
- Quarterly (3 months): ~5% discount
- Semi-annual (6 months): ~10% discount
- Annual (12 months): ~15-20% discount
Subnet Splitting
Many lessors offer large blocks that can be split into smaller subnets. For example, a /20 block might be available as the full /20 or split into four /22 blocks. This gives you flexibility to lease exactly what you need.
What is Included
- LOA (Letter of Authorization) for announcing the addresses
