Buying IPv4 Addresses Step by Step
Purchasing IPv4 addresses can seem complex, but with the right guidance and a trusted marketplace, the process is straightforward. This guide walks you through every step.
Step 1: Determine Your Needs
Before browsing listings, assess your requirements:
- How many IP addresses do you need?
- What subnet size fits your infrastructure?
- Do you have a preference for IP status (Legacy, PI, PA)?
- Is geographic announcement location important?
Step 2: Browse and Select
Use our marketplace to browse available IPv4 blocks. You can filter by registry (RIPE, ARIN, APNIC), subnet size, price range, and more.
Step 3: Reserve the Block
Once you find a suitable block, you can reserve it for 10 days with a $500 deposit. This ensures no one else can purchase it while you prepare your documentation.
Step 4: Organization Setup
You will need to provide your organization details including your RIR (Regional Internet Registry) membership information. This is required for the transfer process.
Step 5: Contract and Payment
After reservation, you will receive a purchase contract. Review and sign it, then proceed with payment via credit card (Stripe) or SWIFT bank transfer.
Step 6: Transfer Process
Upon payment confirmation, the transfer contract is generated based on the transfer type (Legacy, PA, PI, or Inter-RIR). Both parties sign, and the transfer is initiated with the relevant RIR.
Step 7: Completion
The RIR processes the transfer, typically within 2-4 weeks. Once complete, the IP addresses are registered under your organization.
