Frequently Asked Questions

What is an LIR, and why would I need one?

A Local Internet Registry (LIR) is a member of the RIPE NCC that can request and hold PA (Provider Aggregate) IP addresses (IPv4 and IPv6), and sponsor AS numbers and PI (Provider Independent) space for others. If you need your own address space but do not want the cost and the paperwork of running an LIR, you can lease addresses from us, have us sponsor your resources, or hand your LIR to us to manage. LIR SERVICES is a registered RIPE member.

Can I lease IPv4 and IPv6 addresses without becoming an LIR?

Yes. With IP Address Lease you rent IPv4 and IPv6 space that we own directly, so there are no third parties and no three-way contracts. Setup takes 1-2 business days on average. IPv4 starts at €1,350 a year for a /24 (256 addresses) and IPv6 at €100 a year for a /48. Not sure how many addresses you need? Try the block size calculator.

Do I need an ASN?

You need a public AS number to announce your own address space with BGP or to use more than one upstream provider. ASN Registration is €150 a year with the RIPE fee included, and you do not need to become a RIPE member. If you then need the routing set up, see BGP Implementation.

Is there a waiting list for IPv4 addresses from the RIPE NCC?

Yes. The RIPE NCC gives IPv4 only through its waiting list: one /24, only to an LIR that has never received IPv4 from it, and you may wait a long time. If you cannot wait, lease addresses from us or buy them from another organisation and let us arrange the transfer.

What is the difference between Managed LIR and Resource Sponsoring?

With a Managed LIR you hold the RIPE NCC membership and we do the work: the relationship with RIPE, the whois database, applications and the audit. With Resource Sponsoring you do not become a member: you hold PI (Provider Independent), Legacy or IXP resources and we are the LIR sponsor that RIPE requires.

Can you help me transfer or sell IP addresses?

Yes. Resource Transfers covers transfers due to a merger or acquisition and individually negotiated sales. It is €200 one-time if we already sponsor your resources and €300 if another LIR does, and we prepare all the paperwork. If you have no buyer yet, get in touch and we will be happy to make you an offer. If you want to buy IPv4 addresses, see Buy IPv4 Addresses.
