However, additional steps may be required, such as signing a Registration Services Agreement (RSA) with ARIN or establishing proper organizational records. Prefixx specializes in legacy block recovery and transfers.
If you are not ready to sell, leasing your unused IPv4 space is a great way to generate revenue while retaining ownership. Prefixx offers both short-term and long-term leasing options. Learn more about leasing.
