How Leasing IPv4 Addresses Can Benefit Your Business

IPv4 exhaustion began in 2016, and unused IPv4 addresses are now hard to find in the IPv4 market. The IPv4 market offers only two ways to get IPv4 addresses: leasing IPv4 addresses or buying them. In this article, we look at how leasing IPv4 addresses can benefit your business:

1. Cost savings
   Because of IPv4 exhaustion, the cost of buying an IP address rose to $35 in 2021. Leasing costs as little as $0.41 per IP address per month, so the difference in price between buying and leasing is large.
   
   Leasing is therefore a more cost-effective way to get IPv4 addresses, especially for start-ups and companies with tight budgets. And because leasing saves money, a company can put more of its budget into other areas of development.
   
   

2. Faster process and immediate availability
   The process of buying IPv4 addresses is complicated and time-consuming: it may take more than a month to get an IPv4 address.
   
   If you need addresses urgently, leasing IPv4 is the fastest way, because it takes just 3 simple steps: sign a service contract, make the payment, and receive a letter of authorization (LOA).

Leasing IPv4 addresses not only helps you overcome IPv4 exhaustion, it also gets you IPv4 addresses at a lower cost. To learn more about leasing IPv4 addresses, read our guide to the advantages and disadvantages of leasing IPv4 addresses.
