AS numbers and PI space
ASN registration through our sponsorship - needed the moment you want BGP, more than one upstream, or an exchange port. Provider-independent IPv6 alongside it, so the network you build is portable from day one.
An AS number registered to you. Address space registered to you. We hold the RIPE membership and do the paperwork; the resources are yours - which means you can leave any provider that mistreats you. Including us.
RIPE NCC deals only with its members. To get an AS number or provider-independent space you either become a member yourself - an annual fee, a contract, database upkeep and policy homework - or you go through a sponsoring LIR that is already one. We run our own registry for our own network anyway; sponsoring your resources beside ours costs a fraction of a membership.

An ASN and PI space registered in your name are the difference between renting your identity from a provider and owning it. If a provider holds your addresses, leaving means renumbering everything you run. If the addresses are yours, leaving is a BGP session. We sell that independence knowing it applies to us too - we would rather keep customers by being good than by holding their addresses hostage.
RIPE ran out in November 2019; what remains is a waiting list measured in years. Real options today are two - rent from our allocations for as long as you need, or buy on the transfer market, where we handle the brokerage, the RIPE paperwork and the hygiene checks so you do not pay for a poisoned range.

Clean ranges from our own allocations on rental, or a brokered purchase on the transfer market with the RIPE paperwork done by us. Every range is checked against blocklists and reputation feeds before you touch it.
inetnum, route and route6 objects, maintainers, abuse-c and the rest - created properly and kept current. A stale registry object is how announcements get filtered and how abuse mail goes unanswered until it becomes a problem.
ROAs for every prefix at no extra charge, because unsigned space is increasingly space that does not propagate. If you buy transit from us, invalids are already dropped at our border - the two halves meet.
rDNS delegation managed for free, and geolocation corrections pushed to the databases that matter when your users end up with the wrong language, the wrong shop or the wrong content licence.
Blocklist and reputation monitoring on your ranges with alerts when something changes, and help with delisting when a customer of yours earns you an entry. Addresses are an asset; this is the maintenance.
Yes - that is exactly what a sponsoring LIR is for. We hold the membership and do the paperwork; the AS number is registered to you and usable within days.
Not in the free pool - it ran out in November 2019 and the waiting list is measured in years. Realistic options are renting from our allocations or buying on the transfer market, where we broker and handle the RIPE paperwork.
Yes. PI space and your ASN are registered to you - portable to any sponsoring LIR, including away from us. We sell that independence on purpose.
No - ROAs are created and maintained at no charge, and rDNS delegation is managed for free. Unsigned space increasingly just does not propagate, so signing it is not an upsell, it is hygiene.
We monitor reputation on every range and alert you when something changes - and we help with the delisting, because addresses are an asset only while they are clean.
