RIPE NCC IP address broker
RIPE NCC covers Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia, and hosts the deepest and most active IPv4 transfer market of the five registries.
RIPE NCC in one paragraph
RIPE NCC permits transfers of IPv4 allocations between members, and the volume of activity in its service region makes it the most liquid of the five markets. Accuro values RIPE-allocated space, sources or places it, vets the counterparty and prepares the transfer paperwork for both sides.
The deepest of the five markets
More IPv4 changes hands under RIPE NCC than under any other registry, which has two practical consequences. For a seller it means a wider pool of buyers and a shorter path to a competitive price. For a buyer it means availability, but also more competition for the blocks that are clean and well sized.
Liquidity does not remove the need for diligence. A busy market is also where a block with an unpleasant history is easiest to move quickly, which is why the provenance of every block we offer is researched before it reaches a buyer.
Selling RIPE-allocated space
A brokered listing usually makes most sense here, because the buyer pool is large enough that competition works in your favour. If you would rather not wait, an inventory purchase gives you capital now. Either way you set the criteria that govern who may end up on the space.
Buying RIPE-allocated space
Membership and account structure affect how a transfer is executed, and the details differ by organisation. We confirm what applies to your entity before a block is committed, so the deal does not stall between agreement and filing.
