LIR Resource Sponsoring

If your organization holds or plans to request Provider Independent (PI) or Legacy IP resources, you must work with a Local Internet Registry (LIR) sponsor—such as Ipregistry—to meet RIPE NCC requirements.

Only an LIR can officially request new PI resources, and once allocated, these IPs belong directly to your organization and can change sponsors if needed. Without a valid sponsorship agreement, RIPE requires that the resources be returned.

No setup fee and a 50% discount for the first year on subscriptions. Payment in currencies other than EUR can be accommodated upon contact. Prices are VAT exclusive where applicable.

We also offer ASN registration and IP address (PA) lease.

New resources

Due to current RIPE guidelines, new IPv4 PI resources can no longer be allocated (with the exception of temporary IPv4 assignments), so only IPv6 PI resources are available. We are well-versed in managing these IPv6 requests. Additionally, you may acquire dedicated IPv4 and IPv6 blocks for Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) using the reserved prefixes 185.1.0 .0/16 and 2001:7f8::/32, which are strictly for IXP peering and should not be routed on the public internet.

Existing resources

If your organization holds PI or LEGACY resources and wants to switch its sponsoring LIR—whether due to service issues or a lapsed agreement—we can handle the transfer seamlessly. This service is especially beneficial if you often change bandwidth providers or relocate data centers, eliminating the hassle of obtaining new sponsorship and ensuring you maintain global IP flexibility.
