IPv4.Global IP Leasing Overview
This page outlines the technical, operational and commercial details of IPv4.Global, the Hilco Global marketplace that buys, sells and leases IPv4 address space and ASNs, and publishes live per-address prices rather than quoting privately.
Looking for the best IP providers? IPv4.Global is the most price-transparent provider in this directory: its marketplace shows current per-address prices by block size and registry, and its leasing hub documents ROA generation, registry reassignment, DNS delegation and reputation checks as part of a lease. It is an ARIN Qualified Facilitator, which is a verifiable standing rather than a self-description.
This listing was compiled from IPv4.Global'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.
Provider Details
The facilitator standing below was verified against ARIN's published list rather than taken from the company's own summary.
| Field | Information |
|---|---|
| Provider Name | IPv4.Global, a division of Hilco Streambank |
| Website | ipv4.global |
| HQ Country | United States (1500 Broadway, 26th Floor, New York, NY 10036) |
| Founded | Marketplace transactions date from 2014, per the company's own figures. Previously traded as IPv4Auctions.com. |
| Group Relationships | Part of Hilco Global, operating through Hilco Streambank. The group also lends against IP assets and brokers facility sales, so an address transaction can sit alongside wider asset work. |
| RIR Standing | ARIN Qualified Facilitator, Org ID HISL-5, qualified 19 June 2023. The company states that it operates in all five Regional Internet Registries. |
| ARIN Facilitator Status | Yes. Listed on ARIN's published Qualified Facilitator list (checked 15 September 2026). |
| Asset Types | IPv4 address blocks and Autonomous System Numbers. |
| Adjacent Products | ProVision IPAM and DDI software, an address valuation widget, and a browser extension carrying a live market ticker. |
Service Capabilities
| Capability | Details |
|---|---|
| Offer Type | Buy, sell and lease, across three routes: a self-service online marketplace, privately negotiated transactions for large blocks, and a separate leasing hub. |
| Supply Model | Third-party inventory. The platform matches holders with buyers or lessees; IPv4.Global sits between the parties and provides escrow and standardised agreements rather than supplying its own allocations. |
| Leasing Hub | Launched September 2024. Registered users list blocks for lease or search for blocks matching their requirements, and the hub is intended to publish market data on leasing prices, availability and demand. |
| Lease Configurations | Short-term, long-term, unusual timeframes, lease-to-own and option-to-buy. Blocks can be divided and structured to fit a requirement. No standard minimum duration is published, so it is set per listing or negotiation. |
| Supported RIRs | All five regions for transactions. Note the narrower scope on the leasing side: registry reassignment and reallocation is documented for ARIN, APNIC, RIPE NCC and LACNIC, with AFRINIC absent from that list. |
| IPv4 / IPv6 | IPv4 only as a published offering. No IPv6 leasing or brokerage is advertised. |
| BYOIP Support | Resource side, but better documented than most brokers. ROA generation within RPKI, registry reassignment and DNS delegation are named parts of a lease, which covers the prerequisites a cloud BYOIP programme checks. There is still no managed onboarding into a specific cloud programme. |
| Included Management | Standardised legal agreements, escrow for payments and transfers, a confidential process, RIR reassignment, ROA generation, DNS delegation and IP reputation checks. |
| Reputation Assistance | Reputation checks are documented as part of the leasing process, to confirm that space is clean and free of blocklist entries before a lease begins. |
Technical Requirements
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Minimum Prefix Size | /24 is the smallest size seen on the public marketplace. Listings change continuously, so availability at any given size is not guaranteed. |
| Maximum Prefix Size | /16 was the largest listed on the public marketplace when checked. Larger blocks are handled through private brokerage, where the company describes arranging sales of millions of addresses. |
| Provisioning Time | Not published. Marketplace transfers depend on the relevant registry's processing as well as the platform's own steps. |
| Announcement | The customer announces the prefix from their own network. IPv4.Global provides the registry and routing authorisations rather than transit or hosting. |
| RPKI / ROA / LOA | ROA generation within RPKI is documented as part of the leasing service, described as a routing security enhancement. Registry reassignment is handled alongside it. |
| Reverse DNS | DNS delegation is included as a named leasing service. Reverse DNS management also appears as an optional chargeable feature, so confirm which applies to your lease. |
| Geolocation | Offered as an optional feature that may carry an additional cost, rather than being included by default. Geolocation is named as one of the three factors that move lease pricing. |
| Address History | IP reputation checks are run to confirm leased space is clean and blacklist-free. Buyers on the marketplace should still verify history independently. |
Cost and Limitations
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Purchase Prices | Published live per address and varying by block size and registry. Listings observed on 15 September 2026 ran from about USD 13.50 per address for larger RIPE blocks to about USD 32 per address for a RIPE /24, with ARIN /24s around USD 25. These move continuously, so check the marketplace rather than relying on this range. |
| Lease Prices | The company publishes an indicative range of USD 0.35 to 0.45 per address per month, and names block size, geolocation and commitment length as the three factors that move it. Significant discounts are described for two, five and ten-year commitments. |
| Lease Cost Structure | Three components rather than one: a one-time setup fee, the recurring lease payment, and an ongoing management fee charged as commission for technical support and compliance monitoring. Optional features such as geolocation, reverse DNS management and enhanced security can add further cost. Compare the total, not the headline per-address rate. |
| Pricing Model | Per address, for both marketplace purchases and leases. |
| Minimum Term | Not published. Terms are set per listing or negotiation, and the company explicitly positions leasing as not one-size-fits-all. |
| Billing Cycle | Monthly lease payments, per the published lessee calculator. |
| Brokerage Fees | Private brokered transactions are described as carrying no hidden fees. No fee schedule is published for either route. |
| IPv6 Limitation | No IPv6 offering is advertised. Organisations needing IPv6 alongside IPv4 should compare providers whose listing shows IPv6 supply. |
| AFRINIC Caveat | The company states it operates in all five registries, but its documented leasing reassignment coverage names only four. Confirm AFRINIC handling directly if that region matters to you. |
| Not Published | Setup fee and management fee amounts, minimum lease terms, provisioning times, and end-of-lease renumbering terms are not published. Request them directly. |
