Tempest Hosting BYOIP Integration Overview
Searching for the best IP providers? Tempest documents BGP and BYOIP onboarding by support ticket for Enterprise Dedicated servers. Current indexed guidance excludes Virtual Dedicated and Cost-Optimized Dedicated plans, but conflicting historical wording and the fact that the help-centre articles could not be opened directly mean you should confirm plan eligibility before ordering. Customers may announce their own ASN.
Very little else is published. Prefix requirements, authorisation documents, fees and setup time all need to be confirmed with Tempest before you order.
Provider Details
| Field | Information |
|---|---|
| Provider Name | Tempest Hosting, LLC, as named in previously retrieved help-centre material. Confirm the entity that signs your order. |

| Supported Versions | IPv4: yes, per older guidance with a /24 minimum. IPv6: not published for BYOIP. |
| Supported Services | Enterprise Dedicated servers. |
| Not Supported | Virtual Dedicated Servers. Cost-Optimized Dedicated plans are excluded in the newer indexed wording; older wording conflicts, so confirm that exclusion in writing. |

| Support Contact | Tempest contact page and the customer portal for setup tickets |
Worth Knowing
- Confirm eligible plans in writing with Tempest before relying on either version. The newer indexed help-centre version supports Enterprise Dedicated, and Cost-Optimized Dedicated plans sit outside that version. An older retrieved version supported dedicated servers more broadly.
- The plan wording above rests on indexed and previously retrieved copies of the article. Tempest support is the direct source for the live help-centre article.
- The /24 minimum and the statement that own AS and IP use carries no extra charge come from a 2022 article. Reconfirm both against the current Enterprise service.
- BYOIP setup time is confirmed with Tempest during onboarding. The ordinary server delivery estimate covers server delivery.
Technical Requirements
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Prefix Size | /24 minimum, per older official guidance. Reconfirm. |
| ASN Ownership Required | Announcing your own ASN is permitted. Whether an ASN is mandatory, or Tempest can originate for you, is not published. |
| LOA | Not published. |
| RPKI ROA | Not published. |
| IRR Route Object | Not published. |
| RIR Limitations | Not published, including whether leased prefixes are accepted. |
| Ownership Proof | Not published. |
| Contract or Commit | An eligible dedicated server; server charges are separate. |
Step-by-Step BYOIP Process
The documented entry point is a portal ticket. The preparation below is editorial guidance rather than a published Tempest runbook.
identify the exact Enterprise Dedicated plan and location.
request confirmation of prefix size, address family, origin ASN, leased-space eligibility and fees.
ask support which authorisation documents and routing configuration the order needs.
agree an activation window and verify routing before moving production traffic.
Withdrawal and Deprovisioning
No public BYOIP withdrawal procedure was found. Agree withdrawal timing, cancellation and removal of routing authorisations with support before moving the prefix, and do not assume cancelling a server removes every announcement straight away.
Pricing and Plan Details
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Fees | Current fees are quoted by Tempest on request. A 2022 article says own AS and IP use has no additional charge; confirm that with Tempest. |
| Bundled or Standalone | Tied to an eligible dedicated server. |
| DDoS Protection | Tempest markets always-on protection for its servers. Coverage of an imported prefix, and its limits, need confirming per order. |
| Other Details | Setup time, allocation model, BGP session parameters, maximum prefix count, anycast and multihoming are confirmed with Tempest on request. |
Automation & Developer Access
- Portal: setup runs through a support ticket. Self-service route provisioning is not documented.
- API: no BYOIP API, CLI, Terraform provider or SDK is published.
- Reverse DNS: general help-centre guidance offers PTR setup by ticket once a forward A record exists. Delegation for customer space needs confirming.
Abuse & Reputation Management
- Not published: blocklist monitoring, remediation duties and abuse-response commitments for imported space. Ask for the current service terms and abuse process with the order.
