Looking for Info on Public IP Ranges for VPS Hosting

Asked by CloudyExplorer9
Hey everyone! I'm thinking about breaking my cluster into several VPS instances to rent out to other users, and I need some advice on getting a range of public IP addresses. I've noticed that ISPs are pretty secretive about their pricing, likely to protect their profits. I'm curious if anyone here has experience with getting an IP range, like a /27, and what the costs typically look like. I've heard it could reach thousands of dollars each month, which makes me wonder if it would just be easier to go with providers like AWS and direct their public IP traffic to my own cluster. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Typically, the smallest routable IPv4 allocation you can get is a /24, which costs around $100k. But if you're self-hosting with a business ISP, securing a /27 or similar shouldn't be hard or too expensive as long as you provide a good justification. However, do you really need all those IPs? Generally, one public IP for load balancing is more than enough for most applications.

Actually, we just picked up a /24 for about $7k, so the prices can vary quite a bit. It sounds like you’re just starting to explore whether this is feasible for your setup. With only one public IP, managed routing is definitely possible! Clients can just set their domain's DNS to your cluster's public IP. For internal routing, you’d use a reverse proxy like Traefik, which directs traffic to the right VPS or container. It's a solid approach!
