Additionally, and more to the point, the reason most hosting companies do this, is that a lot of people who want a lot of IPs, are just flat out spamming....

But of course, there is quite an administrative overhead - ARIN rules are VERY specific about what IPs can and can't be used for to be "justified" - and each IP has to be documented and valid when you go to ask for more, or they're going to tell you no.

ARIN is not a rubber stamping agency, they're incredibly picky and finicky - managing the allocations and making sure you're meeting ARIN's requirement is not a cost-free item.

Sam
