Buy IPv4 addresses safely
Buy when you know you’ll need the addresses for years and want the block transferred to you. We help source the space, check the paperwork, and get the RIR process through to completion.
When buying is the right move
Buying on the secondary market means the block is transferred into your name, or your LIR's name, at the RIR. That gives you long-term control: you can route it with your own providers, hold it for future use, or lease it out later. For teams building permanent capacity, buying is usually the cleanest option.

Why buy instead of leasing or renting?
Long-term cost certainty
One purchase instead of ongoing monthly fees. If the addresses will stay in use for years, ownership often becomes the simpler financial decision.
Full control and portability
Use the block with your own providers, announce it via BGP, or move it as your infrastructure changes.
Asset you keep or resell
You can hold the block, transfer it later, or monetize it. Leasing and renting do not leave you with an asset at the end.
No renewal risk
Once the transfer is done, the space is yours. You are not revisiting terms every year or worrying about a lessor changing the deal.

Trust and due diligence
We broker transactions and work with LIRs so the transfer path is clear before money and paperwork start moving. Keep the file clean from day one: ownership records, LOA, transfer documents, and any checks on block history all matter if you ever resell or lease the block later.
Verify seller identity, RIR standing, and that the block is clean (not on blocklists) before completing the transaction.
What is an LOA?
A Letter of Authorization (LOA) is a signed document that authorizes the RIR to process the transfer of the IPv4 block from seller to buyer. We (as broker) help coordinate the LOA as part of the process.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to buy IPv4?
Purchase prices move with the market and depend mostly on region and prefix size. As a rough guide, a /24 often starts around EUR25 per IP, while /22 and larger blocks usually come in lower on a per-IP basis. If you want a real number, send us your target RIR and block size.
Can I buy IPv4 without an LIR?
Usually you need an LIR, or the regional equivalent, to receive the transfer. If you do not have that setup yet, we can explain the path and help coordinate it through the right counterparties.
What happens after the RIR transfer completes?
The block is registered to you, or to your LIR, in the RIR database. From that point it is yours to route with your providers, announce via BGP, keep for future use, or lease out later.
What is the smallest block I can buy?
In most cases, /24. It is the smallest block commonly routed on the public internet and the most common entry point for buyers.
Where can I find IPv4 for sale?
You can browse our marketplace or ask us to source options if you need a specific size, region, or block profile.
