Lease out your IPv4 addresses

Earn from address space you are not using, and keep ownership of it.

If you hold IPv4 space that is sitting idle, leasing it out earns monthly income without giving up the asset. You stay the registered holder; the tenant gets the right to announce the range for the term of the agreement.

The risk in leasing out is reputation: a tenant who spams or hosts abuse leaves the damage attached to your addresses, not theirs. Vetting the tenant is the part of this that matters most, and it is the part we do.

How leasing out works

  1. Tell us the range and the term you are willing to commit to.
  2. We check the range is clean before listing it, so it prices as clean space.
  3. We find a tenant and verify what they intend to use the addresses for.
  4. You sign the lease and we issue the Letter of Authorization on your behalf.
  5. You publish an RPKI ROA for the tenant ASN, or we walk you through it.
  6. You are paid monthly for the term, and the range returns to you at the end.

What protects your addresses

  • Tenants are vetted on intended use before the agreement is signed, not after.
  • Acceptable use is written into the lease, with termination rights if it is breached.
  • You remain the registered holder throughout, so the space is never transferred.
  • Reputation is monitored during the term, not only at handover.

Lease out or sell

Selling converts the asset to cash once. Leasing out produces income indefinitely while you keep the option to sell later, which matters if you believe prices will hold or rise.

Leasing out suits a holder who might need the space back, or who is not ready to commit to a sale. If the space is genuinely surplus and you want the capital now, selling is the simpler answer.

Questions and answers

- Do I keep ownership when I lease out?

Yes. You remain the registered holder for the whole term. Nothing is transferred at the registry.

- What if a tenant abuses the addresses?

Acceptable use is written into the lease with termination rights, tenants are vetted on intended use before signing, and reputation is monitored during the term.

- What size range can I lease out?

A /24 or larger. Smaller than that cannot be announced independently on the public internet.

- Can I sell the space later?

Yes. Leasing out does not restrict a future sale, though an active lease term has to be honoured or bought out.
