Buy Ipv6 Address
How can I purchase an IPV6 address? [closed] – Super User
Is is now possible to purchase either a single IPV6 address or blocks of them considering how many there are available?
I’ve come across a few questions on here but most of them from what I can see are referring to IPV4 addresses such as this one.

You don’t have to buy IPv6 addresses. There are so many, they have no individual value. They are given away for free in blocks as large as 2^80 (over 1. 2 septillion) at a time (a /48 from Hurricane Electric’s).
If your ISP supports IPv6, they will automatically assign you at least 2^64 addresses, which is the minimum for a single LAN (really! ).
If your ISP does not support IPv6, you can tunnel IPv6 over your IPv4 ISP to a free service like

Your First IPv6 Request – ARIN
Are you ready to deploy IPv6, but you’re not sure where to begin? Whether you are an end user or an Internet Service Provider (ISP), ARIN can help you determine how much IPv6 address space is appropriate for your organization and tell you how to request space.
I already have IPv4 from ARIN (or its predecessor). I need IPv6!
If you have an IPv4 allocation or assignment from ARIN, obtaining IPv6 couldn’t be easier.
Log in to ARIN Online.
Select IP Addresses from the navigation menu.
Select Request.
The subsequent windows guide you through your request.
ARIN will follow up with you within two business days to process your request.
If you obtained IPv4 from ARIN (or its predecessor) but do not have an ARIN Online account, you must first create one and link it to a Point of Contact record (POC) and an Organization Identifier (Org ID) using these instructions.
I do NOT have IPv4 from ARIN (or its predecessor) and I need IPv6 for:
My organization (I am an end user): If your organization operates a network exclusively for your employees but does not provide Internet services to customers, you are an end user. Visit Requesting Space as an End User.
My organization and its customers (I am an ISP): You are an ISP if your organization provides Internet services to other organizations, your customers and/or individuals other than your employees. Internet services include, but are not limited to, connectivity services, web hosting services, colocation, dedicated servers, virtual private servers, virtual private networks, etc. Visit Requesting Space as an ISP.
Requesting Space as an End User
Follow these steps:
Step 1: Verify You Qualify
If you meet any of the criteria below, you qualify to receive IPv6 address space:
Have an IPv4 assignment from ARIN or one of its predecessors
Intend to immediately be IPv6 multi-homed
Have 13 end sites (offices, data centers, etc. ) within one year
Use 2, 000 IPv6 addresses within one year
Use 200 /64 subnets within one year
Step 2: Determine Your Block Size
IPv6 block size is based on the number of end sites in your network, not on the number of IP addresses you anticipate using. End sites are physical locations such as offices and data centers.
Each end site will generally be assigned one /48 subnet. You can determine the block size you qualify for based on the total number of end sites in your network (refer to the following table). This should include all existing end sites as well as any new end sites that will be deployed within one year.
Number of End Sites
Block Size
1 site
/48
2-12 sites
/44
13-192 sites
/40
193-3, 072 sites
/36
3, 073+ sites
/32
Step 3: Submit Your Request
Submit your request through your ARIN Online account.
Requesting Space as an ISP
Qualify for an IPv4 ISP allocation under current policy
Intend to immediately be IPv6 multi-homed, or
Provide a reasonable technical justification, including a plan showing projected assignments for one, two, and five year periods, with a minimum of 50 assignments within five years
IPv6 block size is based on the number and size of subnets to be assigned to customers, not on the number of IP addresses required by customers. ISPs will typically assign one subnet (/48 or smaller) to each customer. The default /32 minimum allocation is sufficient for many ISPs since it contains 65, 536 /48 subnets to assign to customers. ISPs may also opt to request a smaller /36 allocation.
Qualification for blocks larger than /32 is based on:
the subnet size to be assigned to customers (typically /48)
the number of serving sites (customer aggregation sites such as data centers or regional hubs) in the ISP’s network
the number of customers served by the largest serving site in the ISP’s network
If you are applying for a block larger than /32, make sure to inform us of the block size to be assigned, number of serving sites, and number of customers served by the largest serving site so we can determine the appropriate block size to meet your needs.
Submitting Your Request
If you meet the requirements for requesting space, follow these steps to request your first allocation or assignment:
Create an ARIN Online account and link it to a Point of Contact record (POC) and an Organization Identifier (Org ID) using these instructions.
