Service Capabilities
| Capability | Details |
|---|---|
| Offer Type | Lease only. IPXO does not sell address space; purchases and transfers are routed to its partner marketplace IPv4Connect, operated by Brander Group. |
| Lease Configurations | Two options per listing: non-committed rolling leases with a monthly billing cycle, or fixed commitment terms with a negotiated duration and locked price. |
| Commitment Terms | Supported. Custom commitments fix price and duration for the term, protecting the prefix from repricing or reassignment. Negotiated with an IPXO account manager. |
| Supported RIRs | All five (ARIN, RIPE NCC, APNIC, LACNIC, AFRINIC) through IPXO managed LIR services. Current lease campaign inventory highlights ARIN, RIPE NCC and AFRINIC. |
| IPv4 / IPv6 | IPv4 is the leasing marketplace focus. A free /48 IPv6 block is included with a Next-Gen IPAM subscription. |
| BYOIP Support | Yes. Documented BYOIP integrations for AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, IBM Cloud and Cloudflare, using the leased prefix with IPXO-managed routing objects. |
| Included Management | Reputation monitoring, abuse handling, geolocation correction, rDNS and BGP/RPKI tooling ship with the platform rather than as add-ons. |
Technical Requirements
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Minimum Prefix Size (Lease) | /24 for a standard marketplace lease. The current annual campaign applies its rate from a single /24 up to large allocations with no subnet size limit. |
| Minimum Prefix Size (Commitments) | /23 or larger. Custom lease terms are only offered on /23 and bigger prefixes. |
| IRR / RADb Objects | Created and maintained automatically by IPXO as part of subnet assignment. |
| RPKI / ROA / LOA | LOA and ROA are issued in the portal, with delegated RPKI and rDNS management available. Both lessee and holder must keep validation objects in place for the whole lease. |
| Geolocation Policies | Geolocation dashboard compares six providers so inconsistencies can be spotted and corrected. IPXO publishes a geofeed at geofeed.ipxo.com/geofeed.txt. |
| Cloud-Specific Requirements | Cloudflare BYOIP requires a signed commitment of 12 months or more. AWS BYOIP uses a scoped IAM role with an External ID (see the automation section below). |
Step-by-Step Process
Preparation
- Create an IPXO account and register your company for verification by Customer Solutions
- Add a payment method before ordering, otherwise the account can be suspended
- Decide prefix size, RIR region, geolocation needs and whether you want a fixed commitment
Cost and Limitations
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Fees / Pricing | Market-driven monthly pricing. Published examples include a /24 at $63.00 per month (about $0.246 per IP) and a /22 at $267.50 per month. |
| Campaign Pricing | A limited campaign offers $3 per IP per year (about $0.25 per IP per month) on a minimum three-year term, billed annually in advance, with the rate locked for the term. |
| Subscriptions | Next-Gen IPAM is a separate subscription: tier 1 (up to /22) is free for the first year then $10 per month, rising to $450 per month at tier 4 (up to /12). Subscriptions auto-renew and prepaid fees are non-refundable. |
| IP Holder Fee | A standard 5 percent platform fee is deducted monthly from monetization revenue. |
| Price Changes | On non-committed leases the holder must give at least 90 days notice and cannot raise the price by more than 5 percent. No configuration changes apply during an active commitment. |
| Renewals | Fixed commitments renew for the same duration unless cancelled: 90 days notice from the holder or 30 days from the lessee. |
| Early Termination | Committed leases cannot be terminated automatically in the portal; requests are assessed individually. On payment default IPXO can terminate immediately and the lessee still owes the price through the end of the commitment period. |
| Traffic / Use Restrictions | Acceptable Use Policy and compliance screening are enforced throughout the lease; abusive use is prohibited. |
| Other Limitations | Administrative, processing, abuse-management and cancellation fees may apply. Returned prefixes can enter a post-lease quarantine before relisting, and availability varies by RIR region and listing. |
Automation & Developer Access
- API Access: Yes. A REST API behind the
apigw.ipxo.comgateway, with OAuth2 client-credentials tokens issued byhydra.ipxo.com/oauth2/token. - Credentials: App Keys (beta) are created per company in the portal, and OAuth2 scopes map to individual APIs such as billing or DNS.
- Documented Flows: marketplace search, cart and checkout for a lease, ASN assignment with LOA creation, RPKI/ROA and IRR records, invoices and payouts, and subscription termination.
- Terraform / SDKs: No official provider or SDK. Automation is built directly against the REST API.
- Cloud Automation: AWS BYOIP provisioning is driven by a CloudFormation-created IAM role plus IPXO orchestration, covered in the section below.
Abuse & Reputation Management
- IP Reputation Monitoring: Yes. Blocklist detection with monthly reputation scans and a reputation dashboard.
- Blacklist Removal Support: Yes. Guidance and delisting assistance from the IPXO team.
- Abuse Handling: Automated abuse checks run for the duration of the lease, backed by Acceptable Use Policy enforcement and abuse-management fees for violations.
- Abuse Contact: abuse@ipxo.com, or a ticket through help.ipxo.com.
- Post-Termination: Continuing to announce a prefix after the lease ends is treated as hijacking and can trigger reassignment blocks and additional fees.
