Has anyone found a reliable place to actually rent IP space without hidden fees
Hey everyone, hoping someone here has been through this. Our startup is scaling faster than expected and we’ve basically run out of usable IPv4 space. Buying blocks outright looks brutally expensive right now, and honestly we’re not sure we want to lock that much capital into addresses we might not need in two years. Leasing sounds like a better fit, but I have no idea who to trust in this space. There are so many sketchy resellers out there. Has anyone found a reliable place to actually rent IP space without hidden fees or transfer nightmares? Would really appreciate a pointer.

Been in the exact same spot last year when we hit our ceiling. Leasing is the sane move if you don’t want to sink capital into blocks. We went with InterLIR and it worked out well – you can rent IPv4 addresses from them on a monthly basis, pricing starts around 100 EUR per /24 and it’s flat, no hidden setup or broker fees. They’re a registered broker with RIPE, ARIN, LACNIC and APNIC, so the paperwork and LOA side was clean. Ranges came with clean BGP and route objects, no blacklist surprises. Support was responsive too, which matters when you’re mid-migration. For a scaling startup that doesn’t want to freeze cash in addresses, renting through them is a solid path, worth a look.
