Taken from another hosts thread

"Our Network
- Free IP addresses (per ARIN guidelines)"

So when i get charged $1-$2 an ip, i'm taking it up the ass. It takes less than a second to alot an ip, & in most cases i can do it myself through a control panel.

So what the fucks the deal? Set me straight big guys.

Arin charges for IP Blocks (Arin controls all the routable internet addresses) , and you have to justify why you need a certain block size of ip's. We had to beg, borrow and steal to get them to give us a pair of /22's. Alot of bandwith providers will give away the ip's with a large bandwith purchase from them and in return you can charge your clients for them or give them away as a freebie (but if you want you own portable ip space you have to pay Arin for it on a yearly basis). We usually give up to 10 ip's for a decent hosting customer and then charge $1 per ip after that. Hope this helps, hit me up if you need more of a explaination.

No they charge less, but you have to buy bulk, you have to sign a year contract and you have to have the equiptment to route those ip's. Thats why we charge $1 a ip, good routing equiptment is not cheap (our cisco 6509 switch/router ran us $60k) Im sure alot of providers will give them to you for free, but im also sure they do not own their ip blocks and they dont do high end routing in their enviroment. I could be wrong, but i have been in the high end hosting business for 8 years and all good hosts charge for ip space after a certain amount.

Also remember there are only so many ip addresses to go around and by charging for ip's after a certain amount is given to a hosting client keeps people from abusing it. When you have to pay for them it makes you only take what you need.
