[Gamer787]

Looking to purchase a larger IPv4 block, having a really difficult time finding out how to go about this. Would really appreciate some help.

you will need to speak to your host/server provider and be prepared to justify why you want them

Would help to know how large of a block you're asking for.

 

[Gamer787]

We prefer not to rely on the host, we want our own space.

 

[Gamer787]

/19 is what we are looking for.

 

[24x7server]

You can either speak with your server provider or post your requirements on the forums, someone will contact you.

 

[webconfigure]

The web hosting provider used to provide the IPV4 service. You can contact them for getting the IPV4 address.

If you need such a large range, you should get in contact directly with Ripe/Arin/etc , become a LIR (they will provide a /22) but to get more you will have to give them a very good justification/

becoming and LIR is not cheap

RIPE NCC members pay a membership fee every year. For 2018, this fee is EUR 1,400. This is charged on a pro rata basis for new member. New members also pay a sign-up fee, which is currently EUR 2,000. Members can have more than one LIR account, but they must pay the membership and sign-up fee for each LIR account. There is a separate charge of EUR 50 per independent assignment.

Neither is buying a /19 ..

The average price per ip is $15 x 8190 = $122,850

Average price of an iPv4 IP is $1.50 and not $15 so $1.50 a month x 8190 is $12,285 per month or $147,420 per year.

but yes anyone will want strong justification to why you want so many IPs. I dont think any host even big boys will be able to give you that many IPs

What you are saying it's the average price for renting the ip, not for buying.

yes which most hosts do along with RIPE as their fees are annual, so you dont actually purchase IPs

We recently applied with APNIC and got a /22 and they are saying they are distributing their last /8 so they are very strict with giving IP, I'm sure same is the case with RIPE, so it will be very difficult to get IP directly from RIPE or APNIC (ARINE is already out of IP) but you can still apply in the waiting list and may be you will get lucky and get IP

IPv4 IPs have been on the short list for a few years now, this is why a lot of hosts are charging high for them and why SNI was introduced, so you no longer need a dedicated IPv4 IP to get and SSL cert.

 

[Anaisa]

For that you need to do RIPE verification.,

 

[MVPS]

First of all, get yourself a RIPE LIR account. You'll get a /22 for now and up to /29 ipv6. If you still need more IPs, you can use RIPE's listing service and buy from other lirs (currently the ips are very expensive).

 

[OneVPScom]

Isn't a market place on RIPE already for such requests?

https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/resource-transfers-and-mergers/brokers

Some people will sell

You need to contact hosting service provider and have to do RIPE verification to get IPv4 addresses as per your need.
