Why Lease IPv4 Address Space?

Unfortunately, the era of the Internet Protocol Version 4 is closing in on its end. Currently, there is a scarcity of IPv4 address space in the market. This is mainly because of the increasing number of internet users in the world that, according to statistics, exceeded 3.3 billion in 2015.

As a result of this scarcity, buyers are finding it extremely hard to get access to clean and usable IPv4 addresses. The prices have gone high. Along with that, cases of scams, frauds and deception are also on the rise.

Exhaustion of available IPv4 addresses is a very real problem, and unfortunately, it is going to get worse with time. We, here at IPv4 Mall, completely understand that this problem is inevitable.

However, we also believe that its exacerbation can be mitigated to a great extent if only a platform is provided to buyers, seller and leasers where they can interact and exchange IPv4 addresses. Our online market place was created for that specifically, and is successfully serving that purpose.

While demand has clearly outpaced supply, there are still companies looking to sell or lease IPv4 addresses to prospective buyers. However, in some situations, requirements are such that buying or selling is not a feasible option. In that case, leasing can prove to be a better alternate that can benefit both sides.

For Buyers

Those looking for IPv4 addresses should definitely consider the option of leasing. In fact, we would highly advise those companies whose use is temporary to opt for leasing as opposed to buying. It is a cheaper alternate that allows instant use. Our marketplace is a hub for reliable leasers willing to lease clean IP4 addresses for both long term and short term use. There are very few obligations and lease terms are also very lenient.

For Owners and Sellers

Owners and prospective sellers should also consider the option of leasing. Instead of just maintaining an inventory of unused IPv4 address space, leasing can provide financial benefits, while ensuring that ownership stays with you.

Furthermore, since demand is expected to go even higher, it also makes it highly likely that the prices might too, till widespread migration to IPv6 takes place. If you currently have IPv4 addressees that you don’t urgently need, but might in the future, explore the option of leasing them.

If you are a prospective leaser or lessee looking to engage in mutually beneficial interactions related to IPv4 exchanges, contact us.
