The more secure solution is to become a LIR ("internet provider") yourself and use one of your own adresses (which is yours as long as you pay the fee to the RIR (registry)).
But that is a very expensive solution. Think thousands of dollars up front and thousands of dollars a year.
In practice the best possible way is likely to get a stable IP somewhere (local provider VPS or cloud "elastic ip" ) and host a vpn-router there yourself, that forwards traffic to the real server (this does not work very well if you service is high bandwidth).
- charcircuit 4y ago>and thousands of dollars a year. If you own a single /24 it is only $250 per year to ARIN. A /24 is going to cost $11-12k, but it will have good resale value so it isn't a huge deal.
- svennek 4y agoI am in Europe, and RIPE only has one fee regardless of your (ip-range) size... so YMMV...
- nik736 4y agoIt's still wrong. The regular RIPE fee is 1.400 EUR per year. They redistribute excess earnings though, so the invoices for me were never above 1.000 EUR per year.
- svennek 4y agoOkay, one-ish thousand dollars per year then... And, I for one does not expect the generous redistributions to continue due to both general price increases of ~10% per annum and a stop in the explosive growth of LIRs (i.e. the oversized budget contribution of signup fees)) due to the new /24 rules...
- somat 4y agothere is also the AS fee. also around $250 a year. if I remember correctly.
- dpifke 4y agoThe annual ASN fee is waived if you have IPv4 or IPv6 resources: https://www.arin.net/resources/fees/fee_schedule/#autonomous-system-numbers-asns https://www.arin.net/resources/fees/fee_schedule/#autonomous... (Not to sound harsh, but why comment if you didn't know and couldn't be bothered to look up the correct answer? It's literally the first hit for [arin fees]. The HN guidelines discourage "low effort" comments.)
- ThePhysicist 4y agoI usually pay less than 1.000 € / year for my RIPE membership and associated /22. RIPE actually gives back money they don't need to members, so in some years I get back a significant part of my base fee. And I get two free tickets to the RIPE conference, which is an excellent event and alone worth the price of membership.
