The shortage of IPv4 addresses is somewhat of a misnomer - there are a few sites selling huge ranges of them for about $10/address

- vznatvps 12y agoThey might sell them for that but when you're selling to a "low end" market at £4/year $10/address is quite expensive. Especially when we don't need a range bigger than a /27. I agree there are still IPv4 addresses about but this teaches people that they are running out and we should look for other solutions.
- bluedevil2k 12y agoYou can buy them in /22 blocks, but if you only need 32 addresses, then I guess that is overkill.
- vznatvps 12y agoOut of interest do you have a URL?
- bluedevil2k 12y agohttp://ipv4hub.com http://ipv4hub.com - this is a company I'm at, if you have questions email me. (from my HN profile)
- kstrauser 12y agoAt $10/IP, I'd say "shortage" is pretty well defensible. We'll never run out of IPv4 addresses. We'll just reach a point where each one has a mortgage-sized pricetag. (Well, we would if we were stuck with IPv4, anyway.)
