Buy IPv4 /22 Block
1,024 {ipCount} IP Addresses
Purchase a clean, blacklist-free /22 IPv4 block with 1,024 IP addresses. Escrow-protected transactions, managed RIR transfers, and blocks available from all five registry regions.
A /22 IPv4 block contains 1,024 IP addresses and currently costs $25,600 – $35,800 ($25 – $35 per IP) on the secondary market. Prices vary by RIR region, with RIPE NCC blocks commanding the highest premiums and AFRINIC blocks being the most affordable.
Target Audience
Companies applying for RIPE NCC LIR (Local Internet Registry) membership, small colocation data centers assigning dedicated IPs to rack customers, and European businesses seeking regulatory autonomy over their IP resources.
Use Case
A /22 holds special significance because it is the minimum allocation required by RIPE NCC for new LIR members. Acquiring a /22 unlocks the ability to register your own ASN, manage reverse DNS independently, and create RPKI ROAs—essential for organizations that need full control over their routing security. Data centers use it to assign /29 or /30 blocks to individual rack tenants while maintaining a single aggregated prefix.

Frequently Asked Questions About /22 Blocks
Everything you need to know about purchasing a /22 IPv4 block, from pricing and transfer timelines to technical requirements.
Why do I need a /22 to become a RIPE NCC LIR?
Why do I need a /22 to become a RIPE NCC LIR?
RIPE NCC policy requires new Local Internet Registries to hold at least a /22 (1,024 IPs). This minimum ensures that LIR members have a meaningful resource holding before they can request an ASN, create RPKI objects, and manage allocations to downstream customers. Without a /22, LIR registration cannot proceed.
Can I use a /22 outside the RIPE region?
Can I use a /22 outside the RIPE region?
Yes. While the /22 is best known as the RIPE LIR minimum, it is equally useful in other regions. ARIN and APNIC accept /22 transfers without the LIR requirement. Data centers in North America and Asia Pacific commonly purchase /22 blocks for colocation IP assignment.
How do I assign IPs from a /22 to colocation customers?
How do I assign IPs from a /22 to colocation customers?
The standard practice is to subnet the /22 into smaller blocks (/29 for 8 IPs, /28 for 16 IPs) and assign them per rack or per customer via your billing system. You configure reverse DNS for each assignment and, as the LIR, manage all RIPE database objects (inetnum, route, domain) yourself.
What is the difference between buying a /22 from the RIPE waiting list vs. the secondary market?
What is the difference between buying a /22 from the RIPE waiting list vs. the secondary market?
The RIPE NCC waiting list for a final /22 has been effectively frozen since 2019, with wait times exceeding 12 months and no guarantee of allocation. The secondary market offers immediate availability with clean, pre-vetted blocks that can be transferred within 1–2 weeks. The secondary market is the practical route for most new LIRs.
