IPTrading IP Leasing Overview
This page outlines the technical, operational and commercial details of IPTrading, a Florida-based IPv4 broker that leases address space from its own inventory, brokers leases on behalf of other holders, and handles purchases, sales and ASN transfers.
Looking for the best IP providers? IPTrading is one of the longest-established brokers in this directory and an ARIN Qualified Facilitator, which is a verifiable standing rather than a self-description. It is a negotiated-transaction business rather than a self-service platform: it publishes no rate card and states plainly that the IPv4 market has no listed prices.
This listing was compiled from IPTrading's own published pages and from ARIN's registry records. It is editorially researched rather than vendor-confirmed, so fields the company does not publish are marked as not published rather than estimated.

Service Capabilities
| Capability | Details |
|---|---|
| Offer Type | Buy, sell and lease. Brokerage of transfers is the core business, and the company acts for both buyers and sellers. |
| Supply Model | Both sides. IPTrading leases from its own inventory and separately brokers leases for holders who want to monetise blocks they retain. Worth establishing which applies to a given quote, because the counterparty and the recourse differ. |
| Lease Configurations | Described as flexible and RIR-compliant, arranged per transaction. The company's own guidance notes that lease terms in this market commonly run from six months to three years with renewal options, but it publishes no minimum of its own. |
| Large Transactions | Private brokerage covers block sizes beyond those listed on its online platform, up to full legacy Class B blocks and transactions involving millions of addresses. |
| Supported RIRs | ARIN is the region where its standing is published and verifiable. The company describes relationships with the registries generally and a deep understanding of global transfer policies, without naming per-region service coverage. |
| IPv4 / IPv6 | IPv4 only as a published offering. No IPv6 leasing or brokerage is advertised. |
| BYOIP Support | Resource side. IPTrading supplies address space and the lease paperwork, and publishes no managed onboarding for specific cloud BYOIP programmes. It does offer a working tunnel connection as an alternative to an LOA, which suits customers without their own announcement capability. |
| Included Management | Lease agreement generation, a valid LOA or a working tunnel connection, invoicing and payment processing. For lessors it handles technical interaction with registries, geolocation and routing databases. |
Technical Requirements
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Minimum Prefix Size | Not published. Block sizes are listed on its online platform and vary with inventory, with anything larger handled through private brokerage. |
| Maximum Prefix Size | No published ceiling. The company states it handles full Class B blocks and multi-million-address transactions. |
| Provisioning Time | Not published. The company emphasises acting immediately on technical requirements but gives no stated turnaround. |
| Announcement | Either the customer announces the prefix under an LOA from their own network, or IPTrading supplies a working tunnel connection instead. |
| RPKI / ROA / LOA | LOA provision is documented as part of a lease. RPKI ROA creation is not explicitly documented, though the company describes handling routing database interactions for lessors. Confirm ROA handling before relying on it, since cloud BYOIP programmes generally require one. |
| Reverse DNS | Not published. Request the arrangement directly. |
| Geolocation | Geolocated addresses are offered, and geolocation is named among the technical interactions handled on the lessor side. |
| Address History | The company presents red-flag detection as a core competence, describing the market as opaque and its long experience as the means of spotting problems other brokers miss. No documented screening procedure is published. |
Cost and Limitations
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Fees / Pricing | Not published. The company states that the IPv4 market has no listed prices, that lease prices change daily, and that current figures come from contacting them. Treat this as a quote-only provider. |
| Indicative Market Rates | Its FAQ cites market leasing rates starting around USD 0.35 to 0.50 per address per month, and purchase prices around USD 30 to 35 per address. These are described as market conditions rather than IPTrading's own rate card, so do not treat them as a quote. |
| Brokerage Commission | Described as low relative to the market, on the stated basis that inbound demand allows faster transfers and therefore lower rates. No percentage is published. |
| Minimum Term | Not published. Agreed per transaction. |
| Billing Cycle | Not published. Its own guidance treats monthly, quarterly and annual as options to be defined in the agreement. |
| Reputation Services | Not published as an ongoing service. The company writes about blocklist risk and advises checking that leased space is clean, but documents no monitoring product or delisting assistance. |
| IPv6 Limitation | No IPv6 offering is advertised. Organisations needing IPv6 alongside IPv4 should compare providers whose listing shows IPv6 supply. |
| Not Published | Prefix sizes, price points, commission rates, provisioning times, contract templates, reverse DNS terms and per-region coverage are not published. Request them directly. |
