Purchase IP Blocks

• An individual could need a static IP for business purposes but may not want to purchase a static IP from the ISP.
• If you get an IP address or block of IP addresses assigned from your Regional Internet Registry, i.e. your own IP address block.
• If you purchase IP address or block of IP addresses for your business you’ll need to contact one of the five Regional Internet Registries.
• ARIN
• LACNIC
• RIPE NCC
• AFRINIC
• APNIC
