Buy IPv4 addresses

IPv4 pricing fluctuates based on supply and demand. Factors such as block size, region (ARIN, RIPE, APNIC, LACNIC), and IP reputation all play a role. See our pricing and market data page for more detail, or contact Prefixx for a current quote tailored to your requirements.

Yes. Most Regional Internet Registries require pre-approval before an IPv4 transfer can take place. ARIN requires a justified need demonstration, while RIPE NCC and APNIC have their own membership and pre-approval requirements. Prefixx will guide you through the entire process.

The timeline varies by registry. RIPE transfers can complete in as little as 1-2 weeks, while ARIN transfers typically take 2-6 weeks. The pre-approval and documentation phases add additional time. Prefixx works to streamline every step of the process.

No. Prefixx does not charge buyer fees. Our service commission is paid by the seller. As a buyer, you are only responsible for the block purchase price and any bank or escrow transaction fees.

Prefixx facilitates purchases ranging from a single /24 (256 addresses) to large /16 blocks and beyond. The minimum transferable block size varies by registry: ARIN allows /24 transfers, while RIPE requires a minimum of /24 as well.

Funds are deposited into a secure escrow account before any transfer begins. The funds are only released to the seller after the RIR has confirmed the successful transfer of the IPv4 block to the buyer. This protects both parties throughout the transaction.

Both options have their advantages. Buying gives you permanent ownership, while leasing provides long-term stability with lower upfront costs and faster deployment. Compare leasing vs buying to find the right fit for your business.
