This page outlines the technical, operational and commercial details of Prefix Broker, a Dutch IPv4 broker that buys, sells and leases address space, and one of the few providers in this directory that publishes a lease rate card rather than quoting everything on request.
Looking for the best IP providers? Prefix Broker combines brokerage with a published leasing price list for both IPv4 and IPv6, and delivers the routing authorisations a BYOIP announcement depends on: LOA, RPKI ROA and the supporting registry objects. Its stated focus is the RIPE NCC region, with ARIN-region transactions also handled.
This listing was compiled from Prefix Broker's own published pages and from public 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.
Not published as a founding year. The company describes more than ten years of IPv4 brokerage experience and more than 25 years of community involvement.
RIR Standing
Describes a RIPE NCC regional focus with a track record in the RIPE and ARIN regions. It also states that it helped write the current RIR transfer policies; that is the company's own characterisation and is not independently verifiable from registry records.
ARIN Facilitator Status
No. Prefix Broker does not appear on ARIN's published Qualified Facilitator list (checked 15 September 2026), which is consistent with its stated RIPE-region focus.
Reach
Clients in more than 70 countries, per the company's own figure. Primary region is RIPE NCC: Europe, the Middle East, Russia and parts of Central Asia.

Service Capabilities
Capability
Details
Offer Type
Buy, sell and lease. Brokerage of purchases and sales is the core business, with leasing offered alongside it from address space held by parties in its network.
Supply Model
Third-party inventory rather than its own allocations. Prefix Broker qualifies both parties before a lease starts and sits between lessor and lessee.
Instant Purchase
Prefix Broker Express is a separate auction-free marketplace with fixed "Buy Now" pricing, intended for buyers who want a listed price rather than a negotiation.
Lease Configurations
Short-term and long-term rental, billed as a fixed monthly amount. Discounts are described for longer terms and larger orders.
Supported RIRs
RIPE NCC primarily, with ARIN-region transactions also handled. Clients are served globally depending on requirements.
IPv4 / IPv6
Both, and unusually for a broker, both carry published lease prices. IPv6 is leased from a /32 upward.
BYOIP Support
Resource side. Prefix Broker supplies the address space and the authorisations needed to announce it, but publishes no managed onboarding for specific cloud BYOIP programmes. Cloud-side console work and per-programme validation remain with the customer.
Included Management
LOA, RPKI ROA and the relevant registry database objects are delivered when a lease starts. Reverse DNS configuration and geolocation to the customer's specification are included.
Technical Requirements
Requirement
Details
Minimum Prefix Size (IPv4)
/24, for both leasing and purchase. The published lease list runs /24, /23, /22 and /21, with /20 and larger quoted on request.
Minimum Prefix Size (IPv6)
/32. The list also includes a /29, with /28 and larger quoted on request.
Provisioning Time
Addresses are described as usable within 24 hours of the first payment. The published flow is an enquiry, an offer within 24 hours, then use within 48 hours of accepting.
Announcement
The customer announces the prefix from their own network. Prefix Broker supplies the authorisation chain rather than transit or hosting.
RPKI / ROA / LOA
LOA and ROA are described as delivered as standard at the start of a lease, together with the proper database objects, rather than as chargeable extras.
Reverse DNS
Reverse DNS configuration is included in the lease.
Geolocation
Blocks are geo-located to the customer's exact specification. As with any provider, third-party geolocation databases decide independently when to adopt a correction.
Address History
Not published as a documented screening process. For purchases the company describes researching the supplying party's right to use and checking for limitations on the addresses.
Cost and Limitations
Item
Details
IPv4 Lease Prices
Published per prefix per month: /24 at EUR 129, /23 at EUR 258, /22 at EUR 499 and /21 at EUR 949. A /20 or larger is quoted on request. Figures as published on 15 September 2026.
IPv6 Lease Prices
Published per prefix per month: /32 at EUR 49 and /29 at EUR 349, with /28 and larger on request.
Entry Price
Quoted from EUR 0.50 per IP per month on a two-year agreement. The /24 list price works out at approximately the same rate, so the list appears to reflect a committed term rather than a rolling month.
Pricing Model
Per prefix for the published lease list. Brokered purchases and sales carry a fixed brokerage fee per successful transaction, stated upfront during consultation.
Minimum Term
Not published. Both short-term and long-term rental are offered, and the entry price is tied to a two-year agreement, but no minimum commitment is stated for the list prices. Confirm before ordering.
Billing Cycle
Monthly, as a fixed amount for the duration of the agreement.
Reputation Services
Not published as a service. There is no documented blocklist monitoring, reputation dashboard or delisting assistance on the company's own pages.
Coverage Limitation
No APNIC, LACNIC or AFRINIC supply is advertised. Organisations needing space in those regions should compare providers whose listing shows that coverage.
Not Published
Brokerage fee percentages, contract templates, abuse-handling turnaround, end-of-lease renumbering terms and the size of available inventory are not published. Request them directly.
BYOIP, or Bring Your Own IP, is a service that allows you to use your own IP addresses with cloud providers and hosting services. This gives you more control over your IP reputation and allows you to maintain your existing IP addresses when switching providers.
BYOIP offers several benefits including maintaining your IP reputation, reducing costs by avoiding IP address purchases, and providing more control over your network infrastructure. It's particularly useful for businesses that need to maintain consistent IP addresses across multiple service providers.
BYOIP is available to organizations that own registered IP address blocks. This typically includes businesses, hosting providers, and organizations that have obtained IP addresses from Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) like ARIN, RIPE, or APNIC.
Yes, you typically need to own or have authority over the IP address blocks you want to use. This usually means having registered IP addresses through a Regional Internet Registry (RIR) or having proper authorization from the IP address owner.
Proof of IP ownership typically includes documentation such as ROA (Route Origin Authorization) records, LOA (Letter of Authorization) documents, or registration records from RIR databases. The specific requirements vary by provider.
Yes, BYOIP is secure when properly implemented. Providers use various verification methods including ROA records, certificates, and registration checks to ensure only authorized IP addresses are used. However, it's important to follow security best practices and maintain proper IP address management.
The setup time varies by provider and depends on factors such as prefix validation, ROA creation, and verification processes. Typically, it can take anywhere from a few hours to several days, depending on the provider's requirements and verification process.
Yes, many providers support BYOIP across multiple geographic regions. However, the specific regions and locations supported vary by provider. Some providers offer global BYOIP support, while others may be limited to specific regions.
When you stop using BYOIP with a provider, your IP addresses are typically returned to your control. The provider will stop advertising your IP prefixes, and you can use them with another provider or return them to your normal routing. It's important to coordinate the transition to avoid service disruptions.
