IP Addresses

Would you prefer not to rely entirely on an upstream provider? Looking to connect to multiple network operators for greater resilience and uninterrupted service? In that case, you may need your own IP address space.

LIR Services

  • Registration of an AS (Autonomous System)
  • Allocation of IPv4 / IPv6 address space
  • Sponsoring LIR services and RIPE database consultancy

Cloud Servers

These are cloud-based virtual machines with a configurable set of computing resources, including CPU cores, memory, and storage. You can tailor the server to your exact requirements by selecting the number of virtual CPU cores, the amount of RAM, the storage type, and disk capacity.

As a registered LIR within the RIPE service region, we are ideally placed to provide a full range of professional LIR-related services, including IP address leasing, ASN registration, and resource sponsoring.

IP Address Lease

Our goal is to provide IP address leasing services to organisations that require flexible and reliable access to IP resources, particularly:

  • Organisations that require IP addresses independent of their ISP, without the cost and administrative burden of becoming an LIR
  • Organisations that need IPv4 addresses immediately, where waiting for RIPE membership setup and IPv4 allocation under the current waiting list policy is impractical
  • Organisations that require address ranges larger than the /24 allocation currently available to new LIRs

ASN Registration

An AS Number (Autonomous System Number), or ASN, is a unique identifier assigned by a Regional Internet Registry (RIR) such as RIPE to networks that wish to:

  • Announce IP address space using the BGP protocol
  • Become multihomed
  • Implement traffic engineering policies

LIR Resource Sponsoring

If your organisation already holds, or plans to request, PI (Provider Independent) or Legacy IP resources, you will require an LIR (Local Internet Registry) sponsor.

These resources are allocated directly to your organisation, and you remain free to move them between different LIR sponsors if needed.

Only an LIR can act as a sponsoring registry and request new IP resources from RIPE NCC on behalf of end-user organisations. Hosting Telecom is able to provide this service professionally and efficiently.
