Leasing and listing, step by step

How it works.

Two routes through the same marketplace. Lease space from verified owners, or earn from blocks you already hold — with authorisation, routing objects and billing handled either way.

Complete a one-time application, get verified, and lease from registry-confirmed owners — with the Letter of Authorization, ROA and rDNS handled for you.

01

Create a free account

Sign up in under two minutes. No card required. Registering lets you begin the verification that unlocks full block details in the marketplace.

02

Complete your company profile

Fill this out once and it is done — no reapplying per lease. It takes about five minutes. We need to know who you are, what the space is for, and how you intend to route it.

Company detailsLegal name, address, company type, registration number
Intended useUse category, estimated volume, end-user description
Routing infoASN, upstream provider, BGP requirements, routing policy
03

Get verified

We check your details in the background, typically within one business day. You get an email the moment the account is active. Verification is what protects the owners whose space you will be announcing — and it is why we can show you full blocks rather than masked ones.

04

Find a block and place your order

Filter by subnet size, RIR, price per address, minimum term or routing status. Every listing shows its current blacklist standing and whether delivery is instant or within 48 hours. The rate on the listing is the rate you pay.

Fixed pricingNo auctions, no negotiation. Monthly rates set by the owner.
Flexible termsMinimum terms from three to twelve months, set per listing.
Five registriesARIN, RIPE NCC, APNIC, LACNIC and AFRINIC inventory.
05

Provisioning and activation

Once the lease starts we generate the signed Letter of Authorization and, where the owner has connected their registry API, create the ROA and IRR route object at the same time — so your announcement passes RPKI validation instead of being silently filtered.

Manage it from one dashboard

Active leases, invoices, payment methods, rDNS and RPKI settings, SWIP records and blacklist status — all in one place. Invoices are generated automatically on your billing date.

What happens after you order

  • ImmediatelyYour lease is recorded and the block is reserved. No one else can lease it while your order is processing.
  • Within minutes — ARIN, RIPE, APNICThe LOA is generated and signed. Where the owner has connected their registry API, the ROA and IRR route object are created automatically.
  • Within 48 hours — LACNIC, AFRINICThese registries have no suitable provisioning API, so our team files the same records by hand. Same documents, same objects.
  • As soon as the LOA landsSend it to your upstream and announce the space. That document is what they need before they will accept your route.
  • ContinuouslyThe block is checked against 25 live blocklists. You and the owner are both emailed if an address is newly listed.
  • MonthlyAn invoice is issued on your billing date. Miss one and a ten-day grace period starts, with reminders — nothing is cut off without warning.

Lease terms

Minimum terms are set by the owner, typically three to twelve months. Pricing is monthly and fixed — no hidden fees and no variable charges.

Acceptable use

Every tenant agrees to the acceptable use policy. Spam, open proxies, botnets and anything likely to get the block listed are prohibited. Confirmed abuse ends the lease.

Payment

Invoices are issued monthly per active lease. Card and PayPal activate immediately; bank wire and ACH activate once funds clear.

Ready to lease IPv4 space?

Browsing is open to everyone. You only need an account when you are ready to lease.

Turn idle inventory into monthly revenue without transferring anything. You set the price; we handle tenant vetting, contracts, provisioning and billing.

01

Create an IP owner account

Register and choose IP Owner as the account type. That opens the seller portal, where you manage listings, view transactions, configure payouts and monitor registry authorisation status.

02

Complete your company profile

Needed once, for compliance and billing, before any listing goes live.

Legal identityCompany name, EIN or tax ID, registration number, company type
Address & contactsPhysical address, abuse email, NOC email, phone
Payout methodACH bank transfer, PayPal or international wire
03

Prove you control the block

We verify the block against the registry record for your organisation handle. To automate ROA, rDNS and SWIP on active leases you authorise IPv4 Hub as your technical agent — you retain ownership throughout, and we only act on blocks that are actively listed and leased.

List your blocks

Create a listing per subnet you want to monetise. You control every parameter, and our team reviews each listing before it appears in the marketplace.

You set the priceA fixed monthly rate per subnet. No auctions, no race to the bottom.
You set the termsMinimum durations from one to twelve months or more.
You control availabilityPause, reactivate or adjust any listing that is not under lease.
05

We handle the tenant side

Application review, lease processing, contract execution, payment collection, provisioning and registry configuration all sit with us.

No operational overhead. Abuse complaints, routing support, invoice collection and compliance are handled here — and every leased block is monitored against 20 blocklists so you see a problem the moment we do.
06

Receive monthly payouts

Revenue is calculated monthly from active lease status and paid out once the tenant's payment clears, by ACH, PayPal or wire. Active leases, revenue history and payout status are on your dashboard.

You control pricing

Fixed monthly rates you set per listing. No auctions and no dynamic pricing. You can change the rate on any listing that is not currently leased.

What we manage

ROA creation and maintenance, rDNS zone delegation and SWIP reassignment. You keep ownership — we act only on blocks that are actively listed.

Payout schedule

Calculated monthly from active leases, paid after the tenant's payment clears, by ACH, PayPal or wire, with full visibility from your dashboard.

Creating a seller account and listing a block costs nothing. Commission applies only once the space is actually leased.
