RamNode does, IIRC.
ARIN's SWIP limit (lowest allocation) is a /29 (last I checked)
https://www.arin.net/resources/request/reassignments.html
You're required to SWIP in allocations of /29 or larger to entities. I'm not sure if I'm taking it in the right context.
BuyVM does 1IP SWIP for $2. I dont think Ramnode does SWIPs. I asked them about a month ago and answer was No
@Ruchirablog Maybe only for certain products/customers? @Nick_A

We do. Maybe I should charge like BuyVM... ARIN accepts /32 SWIP.
I imagine you're implying that your SWIPs are free?
Sadly yes
For now.
Poor Nick, he's going to get flooded with SWIP requests now :P
It's been mentioned before on another thread. This one was simply specifically for /32.
We charge because it's a pain in our staffs ass to get it setup.
I'll likely write a module in stallion to allow people to SWIP their IP's automatically
but that'll have to wait for billing2.

More power to you!
We offer SWIP on IP as well. Planning to charge similarly, but can do it free for the time being. It's really not THAT bad @Francisco Basic email template, fill in the blanks and send off.
Didn't I read somewhere that they have well over 10,000 clients? I can bet the support load is substantial for 3 people before having to do SWIP manually. I'd charge if I were BuyVM, too.
I guess this is a new thing on Ramnode then.
I've been doing /32 SWIP for a couple weeks - probably just after you asked me (sorry
). I honestly don't remember turning anyone down recently, but I know I didn't used to do them a while back.
Yeah for sure. Wasn't arguing that, the process itself is simple. The amount of requests on the other hand is a different story
Yeah, for you and me, it's not a big deal to load up the old email template and fire a couple off to ARIN every month. But I'm sure Aldryic is doing more than a couple.
I never SWIP any ip, wonder how they works
Won't want to mess anything up
Maybe i will pay BuyVM for a SWIP to see how it is
Dacentec does SWIP so I guess any provider in Dacentec should be able to do the same
SWIP - Shared WhoIs Project, Its all about changing whois of ip to your name. You will need it only if you need to claim ownership of your IP space.
Ya i kinda knew that because i googled but thanks for explaining.
I do however wondering if the changes reflect as the ISP NAME you see when you're visiting speedtest.net
And by claiming ownership does that mean you going to own that IP? I don't really think so. Could you explain more?
Thanks
Just your contact data is there. People knows you got that IP, so you get the abuse and people can try to contact you before the ISP if there are problems, for example.
Thanks for explanation, kinda like domain whois
And what about really own the IPs? Like owning my IP space? or something?
Closest you can get to having your information like a provider is if you get something called a POC (Point of Contact) where it essentially shows your abuse, noc, and admin handles on the whois alongside the datacenter/provider's information that OWNS the IP space.
As an example -- this technically has a POC AND a Swip to a private customer on it as well:
http://whois.domaintools.com/208.84.135.92
You are not going to get your own addresses at low end prices.
The cheaper option is to rent provider-independent addresses. The more expensive option is to get your addresses from ARIN/RIPE/etc.
No longer possible for PI Space.

Ugh, that sucks.
Thanks for all the replied, i will look more into it
any other providers doing this? need one for one of my sites.. Currently hosted in Sweden.. for.. um.. purposes....
