Can you still buy IPv4 blocks?

Yes, I liked Magnus, and the ticket responses I've gotten from various Vortexnode folks have always been friendly.

I'm not in EU but looking for get an AS number and IPv6 from RIPE
Thanks William.

Looks like the only NIC without annual fee is RIPE. I wish get some IPv6 with some one time fee.

No comment on that, Magnus was always very friendly and supportive on here though. What I'm sure anyone can see though, is that they made a mountain of support work for themselves. I can speak from experience that shared hosting accounts for like 80% of our daily tickets.

I think the easiest example of this was their cheap Atom becoming a $9.99, $10.99, $12.99, and now $14.99 Atom. The machine isn't worth that- and I think they've raised the price this high just because of us cheap time wasting bastards.

Edit: Also, there were some tickets that seemed to get lost, and evidently some techs got in the habit of setting passwords to slight variations of 'changeme'.

I'm no longer working at Vortex/Linovus but I wanted to comment on this. It was due to miscommunication on our part that the price of the atom was that low in the first place, while of course, staff time in tickets of the atoms was also a factor with the price increase.

I figured this was likely the most prevalent issue. Hope you have all found a new awesome place to work with!l

Either is fine, but one must be inside the region. For ASN that is. PI IPs have to be used inside the region.

This only applies to ASNs. RIPE PI v6 costs yearly.
