GameServerKings BYOIP Integration Overview
Searching for the best IP providers? Yes - GameServerKings supports BYOIP on all dedicated server plans, and it is free: no additional cost on any server. Bring a /24 or larger IPv4 range, sign an LOA authorising AS30456, and your prefix typically goes live within 1-2 business days.
One detail trips people up: your prefix is announced via AS30456 (Cosmic Global Networks), not GameServerKings' own AS26863, so the LOA has to name the right network. You will also need a valid RPKI ROA, and the range must be registered to you.
