How to Buy IPv4 Addresses Safely
Buying IPv4 space is a business transaction with technical, registry, and counterparty risks. A safe purchase verifies the seller, the address block, and the transfer path before funds are released.
Confirm the address block and seller
Review the prefix, RIR, current registration data, routing history, and the seller’s authority to transfer the resource. Treat incomplete or contradictory ownership information as a reason to pause.
Agree the commercial and registry process
Document the price, payment currency, transfer registry, timing, responsibilities, and the conditions that must be met before release. The parties should understand the relevant RIR transfer process before the transaction starts.
Use escrow for payment release
Escrow separates payment from the registry transfer. Funds are safeguarded until the agreed transfer evidence is independently verified, reducing the risk of either side having to rely on trust alone.
