Everything you need to know about IP Market, IPv4 leasing, and IP monetization
General Questions
What is IP Market?
IP Market is a transparent marketplace for IPv4 address leasing and monetization, operated by PeaceWeb B.V. We connect businesses that need IPv4 addresses with organizations that have unused IP resources. Our platform features a 10% platform fee, automated RIPE NCC compliance, and instant provisioning.
How is IP Market different from other IPv4 marketplaces?
IP Market offers transparent pricing with only 10% platform fee (compared to hidden fees at other platforms), instant automated provisioning, and no complex contracts. We focus on transparency, speed, and simplicity. We clearly display our fee structure upfront and automate the entire process from listing to provisioning.
Who operates IP Market?
IP Market is operated by PeaceWeb B.V., a Netherlands-based company (KvK: 88526461, VAT: NL864668788B01) located in Rosmalen. We are RIPE NCC compliant and follow all regional internet registry policies.
IPv4 Leasing
How does IPv4 leasing work?
Browse available IPv4 blocks on our marketplace, select the size you need (/24, /23, /22, etc.), complete KYC verification, and receive instant provisioning. You pay monthly with a 10% platform fee added to the IP holder's price. All IPs are clean, RIPE-verified, and ready to use immediately.
What sizes of IPv4 blocks can I lease?
We offer IPv4 blocks from /24 (256 IPs) up to /16 (65,536 IPs), depending on availability. The most common sizes are /24, /23, and /22 blocks. Larger blocks may require additional verification and approval.
How much does it cost to lease IPv4 addresses?
Pricing varies by block size and market conditions. Typically, IPv4 addresses cost β¬2-10 per IP per month. IP Market adds a transparent 10% platform fee. For example, if an IP holder lists a /24 at β¬500/month, you pay β¬550/month total. No hidden fees.
What is the minimum lease term?
The minimum lease term is 1 month. You can cancel anytime with 30 days notice. Longer commitments (6 months, 12 months) may qualify for discounted rates from some IP holders.
Are the IPv4 addresses clean and not blacklisted?
Yes. All IPv4 addresses on IP Market undergo automated compliance checks including blacklist verification, abuse history checks, and RIPE NCC validation. We continuously monitor for abuse and maintain clean IP reputation.
How quickly can I get IPv4 addresses?
After KYC verification and payment, IPv4 addresses are provisioned instantly through our automated system. Most customers receive their IPs within minutes of completing the process.
IP Monetization
How can I monetize my unused IPv4 addresses?
List your IPv4 addresses on IP Market, set your price, and we handle everything else. You keep 90% of the lease revenue (we charge 10% platform fee). Automated compliance, billing, and payouts make it completely passive income.
What is the platform fee for IP holders?
IP Market charges only 10% of your lease revenue. If you list a /24 at β¬500/month and it leases, you receive β¬450/month. No listing fees, no hidden charges. You only pay when you earn.
How much can I earn from monetizing IPv4 addresses?
Earnings depend on block size and market rates. A /24 (256 IPs) typically earns β¬450-900/month after platform fees. A /22 (1024 IPs) can earn β¬1,800-3,600/month. Larger blocks generate proportionally more income.
When do I receive payments?
Payouts are processed on the 1st of each month for balances credited at least two weeks prior. You can choose monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual payout schedules. Payments are made via bank transfer.
Can I remove my IPv4 addresses from the platform?
Once leased, IPv4 addresses cannot be removed for a minimum of 90 days. After 90 days, removal requires approval and may be subject to penalties if active leases exist. This protects both parties and ensures service continuity.
Compliance & Technical
Is IP Market RIPE NCC compliant?
Yes. IP Market fully complies with RIPE NCC policies and all regional internet registry requirements. We automate WHOIS updates, IRR record maintenance, and ROA verification to ensure continuous compliance.
What KYC documentation is required?
KYC is required when reaching financial thresholds. You'll need: business registration documents, VAT number, UBO (Ultimate Beneficial Owner) details, government-issued ID for representatives, and proof of address. This ensures compliance with anti-money laundering regulations.
Can I use leased IPv4 addresses for any purpose?
Leased IPv4 addresses must be used in compliance with our Acceptable Use Policy. Prohibited activities include spam, malware distribution, hacking, illegal content hosting, and DDoS attacks. Abuse results in immediate termination and potential legal action.
What happens if my leased IPs get blacklisted?
If IPs are blacklisted due to your activities, you're responsible for delisting. Repeated abuse violations result in lease termination. We provide abuse monitoring and alerts to help prevent blacklisting. IPs that arrive pre-blacklisted are eligible for replacement.
Pricing & Payments
Are there any hidden fees?
No. IP Market has transparent pricing with only a 10% platform fee. No setup fees, no listing fees, no hidden charges. The price you see is the price you pay. International bank transfer costs may apply for payouts.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept credit cards, bank transfers, and cryptocurrency for lease payments. Payouts to IP holders are made via bank transfer. All transactions are processed securely through our payment partners.
Can I get a refund if I'm not satisfied?
Payments are non-refundable except in cases of platform errors explicitly determined by IP Market. You can cancel your lease with 30 days notice to avoid future charges. No refunds for partial months.
