IPv4 Leasing: Turning Dormant Addresses Into Monthly Revenue
If you hold IPv4 you do not use, you are sitting on inventory — not a cost. Leasing converts it into a predictable monthly income stream.
The case for leasing
Owning IPv4 costs money: registry fees, maintenance, and the opportunity cost of capital parked in a scarce asset. Leasing flips the sign — your dormant block becomes a rental, typically priced between $0.40 and $1.50 per address per month depending on size, cleanliness and region.
Who rents
Startups that cannot justify buying a /24, cloud and gaming providers that need addresses on short notice, and networks bridging the IPv6 transition. Demand has grown roughly 20% year over year as buying became expensive and slow.
How IPDORM helps
The first step is knowing what you hold: which blocks are actually dormant, how long they have been silent, and whether they are clean enough to lease. That is the exact profile our passive scans and reputation data build — turning a registry line into a rental asset.
