IPXO IP Leasing Overview
This page outlines the technical, operational and commercial details of IPXO, an IPv4 leasing marketplace and IP management platform commonly used as a source of address space for BYOIP deployments.
Looking for the best IP providers? IPXO runs a global IPv4 leasing marketplace with automated LOA, ROA and WHOIS handling, reputation tooling and a public API. Below you will find provider details, service capabilities, technical requirements, the lease workflow, current pricing, automation options and reputation management information.
From September 2026 IPXO consolidated leasing, monetization, monitoring and IP management into a single platform, adding subscription plans and a token wallet for selected platform actions. Leasing prices, contracts, lease workflows and monetization payouts are explicitly unchanged by that shift, so the token model does not touch lease rates. The plans and token sections below cover what did change.

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. IPv6 is not part of the published plan matrix: the free /48 that previously accompanied a Next-Gen IPAM subscription is no longer listed under the subscription plans introduced in September 2026. |
| 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. Since September 2026 several of these actions are metered in tokens rather than billed separately. |
| Platform Plans | Free, Starter and Enterprise are available, with Growth on a waitlist. Plans govern platform tooling and metered actions only, not leasing. See the plans and token wallet section below. |
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 | A geolocation dashboard surfaces where IPs resolve, with detection detail scaling by plan: aggregated on Free, three pre-defined providers on Starter, and all providers plus diagnosis and alerts on Growth. Correction requests land in the IPXO Geofeed rather than going to individual geolocation providers, and each provider decides when or whether to apply them, typically within 2-4 weeks. IPXO publishes the geofeed at geofeed.ipxo.com/geofeed.txt. |
| Reverse DNS Access | rDNS requires additional KYC verification before PTR records and NS delegation unlock. Verification runs through support, so open a ticket to start it. |
| 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). |

Cost and Limitations
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Fees / Pricing | Market-driven monthly pricing. The published ladder runs from a /24 at $66.86 per month (about $0.261 per IP) through a /23 at $133.00 and a /22 at $265.90, up to a /16 at $19,009.50. Effective per-IP rates sit in the $0.26 to $0.31 band across most of that range. |
| 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 | Unified platform plans replaced the former Next-Gen IPAM tiers in September 2026. Free is $0, Starter is $100 per month, Growth is planned at $500 per month and Enterprise is priced on request; tiers are no longer keyed to prefix size. Subscriptions auto-renew and prepaid fees are non-refundable. Full breakdown in the plans and token wallet section below. |
| 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. |
Platform Plans and Token Wallet
Subscription plans and token-based billing began rolling out in September 2026 and apply to platform tooling and metered actions. Existing accounts were moved to the Free plan automatically and did not need to migrate or re-import resources. Euro prices are fixed prices rather than conversions from the dollar rates.
| Plan | Price | Tokens included | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 / EUR 0 | None; pay-as-you-go top-ups | Best-effort SLA, ticket and chat support, self-serve contract. View-only routing and WHOIS. |
| Starter | $100 / EUR 96 per month | 20,000 per billing cycle | Metered actions cost roughly half the Free rate. SLA up to 48 business hours. Adds provider-level geodata and bulk geolocation corrections. |
| Growth | $500 / EUR 480 per month (planned) | 100,000 per billing cycle | Not generally available: waitlist only, and the listed feature set may still change. SLA up to 24 business hours plus a dedicated Slack channel. |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Custom MSA with multi-year discount, custom RBAC, and SSO/SAML/SCIM. |
How the token wallet works
- One balance is spent across all platform services instead of paying per LOA, geolocation update or rDNS request separately.
- Every account receives a one-time 15,000-token welcome grant on any plan, credited once the company is verified. Existing clients received the same balance at launch.
- Monthly plan allowances reset each billing cycle and do not roll over. On Starter the monthly tokens are always spent before purchased ones.
- Purchased top-ups never expire: $25 buys 25,000 tokens, $50 buys 55,000 (10 percent bonus), $100 buys 120,000 (20 percent) and $200 buys 250,000 (25 percent). Action prices are the same at every pack size.
- Failed or rejected requests return their tokens automatically, so you only spend on actions that succeed.
- Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply from the next billing period.
| Metered action | Free | Starter | Growth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Geolocation correction | 5,000 tokens per request | 5,000 single, 2,500 bulk | Fully automated with custom rules |
| Reverse DNS PTR | 20 tokens per IP | 10 tokens per IP | Free |
| NS delegation | 10,000 tokens per request | 5,000 tokens per request | Free |
| LOA and ROA | Bundled at 10,000 tokens per request per ASN | LOA 5,000 tokens per request per ASN; ROA free | Both free |
| Sponsored ASN | $250 per year | $200 per year | $100 per year; free on Enterprise |
Two actions carry extra verification. Reverse DNS needs additional KYC through a support ticket before PTR and NS delegation unlock. Sponsored ASN requests need further documents set by RIPE registry requirements, are submitted through support, and the annual fee only applies once the ASN is approved and assigned. Reputation scan pricing moved to tokens without changing its equivalent cost.
Platform Tooling
- Unified inventory. Leased and monetized space appears in one view, with no import step.
- Subnet Properties search. Marketplace listings are filterable by subnet size, RIR, geolocation and available automations, with subnet capabilities shown directly in search results.
- Company Health Score. A weekly 0-100 score reflecting account health, drawn from company attributes, subnet usage patterns, abuse reports and blacklist exposure, service churn, and payment reliability. Bands run from Excellent at 100 percent down to Very Poor at 0-40 percent. It is informational today, but IPXO states that a high score may later qualify companies for early or customized deals while a low score may affect access to long-term commitment deals.
- Routing and RPKI. BGP announcements, ROA coverage and route objects at a glance, with health suggestions on Starter and automation on Growth.
- Reputation. On-demand blocklist and reputation scans for prefixes up to a /16, with threat intelligence and auto-correction on Growth.
- Alerts. Portal and email notifications on change, with one contact on Free and multiple contacts on paid plans.
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.
- Lease Search API: included on every plan, rate-limited on Free, higher limits on Starter and unlimited under fair use on Growth and Enterprise.
- 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.
