| Free tier | No free tier. The site's IP calculator states the lease rate per address: 'Lease per IP per month: RIPE $0.38, ARIN $0.32, APNIC $0.40', in 'USD per IP, excl. VAT', and the lease page says 'Lease prices depend on block size, registry and term.' unit none; metered on none; The rates are the calculator's published per-address figures; the final price 'depends on the block, its reputation and the terms', and a lease is a quote request, not a checkout. The lease terms, minimum duration and any setup fee are not on the pages read. |

| Limits |
The vocabulary has no kind for a minimum block size or a required ASN; volume-quota is the nearest for the /24 minimum, and the ASN requirement is stated in tooling and identity. Rates differ by registry (RIPE $0.38, ARIN $0.32, APNIC $0.40 per IP per month). |
| Binding | volume-quota The /24 minimum is the smallest purchase, and the lease announces from the lessee's ASN, which a reader without an ASN does not have; the limit vocabulary has no kind for an ASN requirement. |
| Identity | email (placeholder) unverified: a lease starts as a quote request. The contact form asks for name, email and a topic ('We use your details only to answer your request.'), and the process then goes request, offer, agreement ('Lease contract signed') and setup. Whether the contract needs company documents, a KYC or a card was not readable: behind a sign-up. The lease is announced 'from your ASN', so an ASN of the lessee is required. |
| Egress | not applicable: the vendor leases address space announced from the lessee's ASN; it does not carry the traffic. free allowance: not applicable: no traffic is carried by the lease |
| Per-object cap | not applicable: an address block, not an object; the smallest lease unit is a /24 |
| Retention | not applicable: a leased block, not stored bytes |
| Interface | unknown A quote request form on the contact page and an IP calculator; no portal, API or client tool is shown on the pages read. |
| Tooling | The lessee's own BGP session: the lease page says the space is 'Announced from your ASN, with ROA and reverse DNS set up' and includes an LOA to announce the block from the ASN, a ROA, delegated reverse DNS and a reputation report. The vendor does not state that it announces the block for a lessee. |
| Composes with | A leased /24 is 256 addresses in one prefix and one registry object, so it is one rung-3 unit, and the lessee needs an ASN of its own to announce it. The vendor is itself a RIPE NCC LIR, so a RIPE lease is the vendor's own registry space; no delivered block was inspected. |
| Reliability | unverified: no delivered block, test address or registry object is published. The vendor states a reputation report for the block 'before handover' and describes itself as a RIPE NCC LIR. |
| Evidence note | documented Documented: the per-address rates, the /24 minimum, the ASN-announcement model and the RIPE LIR status are stated on the vendor's pages, captured 2026-11-03. The contract terms, identity checks beyond the contact form and the registry object of a delivered block are unverified. |
