Lease IPv4 now, own it later

Start with a lease and own the block after one to five years. You use it from the first day, and after the last payment it transfers to you. Everything is in writing before you start.

From €200 per /24 per month

How it works

Three steps to a block of your own

Agreed in writing before the lease starts.

  1. 01

    Choose a term

    One to five years: the shorter the term, the higher the monthly rate. We put it all in writing before you start.

  2. 02

    Use it as a lease

    You use the block from the start, just as with any lease.

  3. 03

    Own it

    After the last payment, the block transfers to you and we handle the RIR paperwork. You can also buy it out early by paying the remaining months in one go, with no penalty.

Testimonials

Trusted by network operators across Europe

In the words of the businesses we have handled transfers, leases and sponsorships for.

We successfully worked with RTM Networks to buy a legacy IPv4/24 and receive a PI IPv6 /48. RTM is our LIR Sponsor and and the whole process was really smooth. Everything worked out the easy way without any troubles in transfer of the IP Ranges. We continue to work with them as LIR sponsor and infrastructure for one of the backbones we are connected now. Special thanks Rick for helping us in setting up the mesh connected backbones and bird. After decades in the business a great experience with cool people. Thank you for doing a great job.

For me, what sets RTM Networks apart is the people. Rick combines professionalism with a genuinely personal approach: he is direct, friendly and someone you can rely on, and he and his team understand this industry and take responsibility for getting things done. Working with them over several years has been a very positive experience, and we have seen it from both sides. Our relationship actually began with RTM buying from us: we sold them several /24 IPv4 prefixes, and every deal was handled so professionally, clearly and responsibly that it was easy for us. Later the tables turned and we leased a /24 from them, a practical and economical solution for our business. Seller first, customer later: either way, I recommend RTM Networks with confidence.
🇳🇱Dmitry OkulovPublished with the customer's permission -
In twelve years of working with Rick, he has never once let me down. Since 2014 he has helped me enormously, in many different ways, and he has always been incredibly helpful, friendly and trustworthy, ready to think along or lend a hand whenever I needed it. When it comes to RIPE, networking or anything else in network infrastructure, his knowledge and experience are excellent, but it is his reliability I value most: he is the one I know I can always count on. Rick and RTM Networks are people you can truly depend on. Rick, thank you for everything over the years. I really appreciate our cooperation and hope we will keep working together for many more.

In about a year as a customer of RTM, starting out through their sister company Bakker IT, I have not run into a single hiccup. Rick is truly dedicated to giving his customers an excellent experience, and you can tell they are after a long-term relationship, with everything in place to make it one. RTM is both my LIR and my lease-to-own sponsor for IPv4 space. Prices are honest, support is great and quick to react, and the addresses are spotless. You can't go wrong with RTM Networks!
🇫🇷QuentinPublished with the customer's permission -
Thanks to Rick, our entire network segment was transferred without a single issue. He is a great help with anything to do with RIPE, whether registrations, transfers or routing. We started doing business with RTM Networks over a year ago, when we leased an IPv4 network from them.

I never had to wait two days or more for a reply to a single email. So far I have only dealt with Rick, who answers fast and has been very helpful. Good people, reasonable prices, and everything works. I buy from Austria.

FAQ

Lease to own: questions

When does the block become mine?

After the last payment, one to five years after the start, depending on the term you choose. The block then transfers to you, and we handle the paperwork with the registry.

Can I buy it out early?

Yes. Pay the remaining monthly payments in one go and the block is yours, with no penalty.

Which block sizes can I lease to own?

Our published rates cover blocks from a /24 up to a /20, per /24 of address space: from €550 a month over one year to €200 over five. Larger blocks cost less per /24, and a single /24 costs more. For anything else, ask us for a quote.

Is there a setup fee?

No. Lease to own has no setup fee: you pay the monthly rate for the term you chose.

How is VAT charged?

Our prices exclude VAT. Where VAT is charged, it is due upfront on the full contract amount.
