FAQ's
Procuring IPv4 addresses for your IT business bears similarities to buying a house. You engage a broker, specifying your required IPv4 addresses. Based on their current listings, they furnish you with a quote and assist in the acquisition process.
Like the housing market, purchasing IPv4 addresses entails navigating a seller’s market. With multiple parties vying for the same resource, scarcity drives prices upward. Thus, being well-informed about your requirements and having a clear budget in mind are crucial. Additionally, prompt decision-making is essential.
The broker provides a quote for the desired prefix, detailing its size, current region (e.g., RIPE NCC, ARIN, or APNIC), and total pricing. Upon acceptance of the quote, the buyer is introduced to the seller, and agreements are reached regarding sales and escrow. Both parties then communicate directly and transparently regarding prefix ownership, payment, and other details.
Once all parties have signed the paperwork, invoices are issued, and payment is transferred to the escrow account. Upon receipt of payment, the transfer process commences with the seller’s Regional Internet Registry (RIR), typically concluding within a few days to a week.
Following the RIR’s completion of the transfer, payments are disbursed from the escrow to the seller and broker, formally concluding the transaction. Buying IPv4 addresses involves a multifaceted process necessitating comprehensive knowledge of procedures and considerations. Your broker serves as a guide throughout, facilitating the acquisition of the IPv4 addresses you require.
The cost of IPv4 addresses varies depending on the prefix being sold. Sellers may opt to quickly offload a prefix by pricing it below market value, while others may hold out for their desired asking price. This dynamic necessitates patience and a strategic approach to secure the best deal. In the current IPv4 addresses market, sellers hold the advantage, with demand consistently exceeding supply. Consequently, if a seller doesn’t receive their preferred offer today, they can expect sufficient demand to persist tomorrow.
As of January 2024, the cost of IPv4 addresses typically ranges between $50 and $60 per address. However, prices are anticipated to climb in the coming months due to the ongoing increase in demand.
Indeed, IPv4 addresses are still obtainable through the after-market via transfers from one company to another. However, the availability of IPv4 space on the market is becoming increasingly challenging due to growing scarcity. Therefore, if you have upcoming plans and wish to budget for this or the next year, it’s advisable to ensure you reserve an adequate amount to meet your anticipated needs. With IPv4 address prices expected to escalate, planning ahead is crucial to securing the necessary space in a timely manner.
Indeed, purchasing IPv4 address space and transferring ownership from one party to another is possible. However, there are certain constraints to consider. The minimum size of IP space typically sold is a /24, which equals 256 addresses. This minimum size is necessary for effective routing across the internet; smaller prefixes are often filtered out. If you require only a few IPv4 addresses, it may be more practical to request a small subnet from your upstream provider.
