Why buy through BRENAC
- Independent and neutral: we do not own the blocks we offer, so our advice follows your interest and not our inventory. [to confirm]
- Clean blocks: every block is checked against blacklists, routing history and registry records before you commit. See [IP Cleaning & Blacklist Removal].
- Protected payment: funds can be held by Escrow.com until the registry confirms the transfer. See [Secure Escrow & Wire Options].
- Worldwide registry experience: we handle transfers within and between RIPE NCC, ARIN, APNIC and LACNIC. [to confirm: registered facilitator status and activity since 2016]
- Confidential by default: your identity and your needs are shared only with the parties who need them.
What we source
| You need | What we offer |
|---|---|
| A single block | Subnets from /24 and larger, including legacy, provider-assigned (PA) and provider-independent (PI) space |
| Several blocks or a large pool | Aggregation from multiple sellers, with one contract and one point of contact |
| An autonomous system number | ASN transfers alongside your IPv4 purchase |
| Space in a specific region | Blocks in the RIPE NCC, ARIN, APNIC and LACNIC regions, with inter-registry transfers when needed |
A block size that is rare on the market can take longer to source. Tell us your target and your flexibility, such as one /22 or four /24s, and we will say what is realistic.
How buying works, step by step
- Brief: you tell us the size, region, budget and deadline. We confirm what is realistic.
- Matching and checks: we propose suitable blocks and audit each one for blacklists, routing history and registry records.
- Offer and contract: we negotiate price and terms with the seller and prepare the purchase agreement for both parties.
- Payment: you pay through escrow or direct wire, as agreed in the contract.
- Registry transfer: buyer and seller submit the transfer request to the registry, and we prepare the documents and follow the file.
- Registry review: the registry verifies the seller and, depending on the region, reviews the buyer's need or membership status.
- Completion: once the registry updates its records, the funds are released to the seller and we help you set up routing records and geolocation for your new block.
The total time depends mainly on the registry's processing. [to confirm: typical range, e.g. 2 to 4 weeks from signed contract]
Registry requirements to expect
Each registry sets its own rules. Some, such as ARIN and APNIC, review the buyer's justified need before approving a transfer. In the RIPE NCC region the buyer generally needs to be a member or to use a sponsoring LIR. We check this at step 1, so you know before you commit.
Costs and payment
The price of a block depends on its size, region, history and current market demand. See our [IPv4 Market Prices & Forecasts] for recent trends.
BRENAC's fee is [to confirm: for example a fixed fee or a percentage per completed transaction, paid by the seller, the buyer or both]. It is stated in your quote before you sign anything.
You can pay by escrow through Escrow.com or by direct wire. Compare both on [Secure Escrow & Wire Options].
Frequently asked questions
What is the smallest block I can buy?
A /24, which is 256 addresses, is the smallest block widely accepted for routing on the internet.
Do I need to be a member of a registry?
It depends on the registry. We explain the requirement for your region at the first step.
Can I buy legacy space?
Yes. Legacy blocks can be transferred, and some registries ask for extra documents or an agreement from the new holder. We guide you through them.
What if the block turns out to be blacklisted?
We check before you sign. If a listing appears later, our cleaning service prepares and follows up the removal requests. No operator can guarantee the outcome.
Can I buy anonymously?
Your details stay confidential between the parties and the registry, but the registry records the new holder, so a legal entity must appear in the records.
