Memorable IP Needed
In wake of RIJX closing, I find myself in need of a bit of a custom solution. When I purchased my first server with them, I was lucky in that I received a very memorable IP (which was made up of two repeating numbers - ex. 300.300.400.400). I'd love to still have a memorable IP; would any providers be willing to offer a plan with one? Specs don't need to be high (128MB RAM, 5GB HDD, 250GB transfer), price is negotiable (I'd like to keep it under $20/year), and location isn't critical.
Thanks!

Now you just need a provider which has one of those on its IP pool

To be clear, I don't need a certain pattern; 200.300.200.300 would also be amazing. Honestly, anything memorable would work.
I would suggest OnePoundWebHosting, they hand out addresses from 5.2.16.0/24 - very easy to remember. They also happen to run some awesome services.
I have the following IPs available for allocation.
127.0.0.1
10.10.10.10
172.172.172.172
Dude awesome!!! Where do I order?
/endsarcasm
I may have something for you... depending of your memory
Any IP is memorable once you see it enough.
I want 30.30.30.30 but handle by 'DoD Network Information Center'.
Hackforums renamed to LowEndTalk, or what?
What does that have to do with requesting an easy to remember IP address?
He wants the IP so that he can give to "enemy" and then get people to DDoS it, obviously.
Can I get 13.37.13.37 or 69.69.69.69 by any chance?
I'm sorry, but I'm not following. Who wants the IP so they can give it out to get attacked?
I want to buy 0.0.0.0. Nothing's easier, all the traffic will come to me!
Oh my! Have they already bought 127.127.127.127 from you, as well? That's just bad luck!
Google bought 127.0.53.53, just type "ping google.".
Hey! That's my block, I saw an IP from that one on one of my servers the other day!
Those guys down there in Mountain View think they can do whatever they want with our IPs.
Personally - I've started to memorize subnets / IPs that are specific to a few of my servers. I used to think I needed a pattern, but nope.
I've 192.168.1.1/24
192.168.5.1/24
Let me know if you can remember those
Huh.. how does that work?
Hey @GoMutant - stick it out for a bit with RIJX - see your email for a newer announcement that should hopefully come to fruition.
Well, Google bought the "google." gtld. 127.0.53.53 is used to prevent collision, new gtld have controlled interruption period so that system administrators using hostname matching the gtld on a private network have time to fix issue if the hostname is now resolving to the gtld for whatever reason; during this period all A queries to the gtld and subdomains point to 127.0.53.53.
See https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/name-collision-framework-30jul14-en.pdf
I believe You have 172.172.172.172/32 as much as i have 0.0.0.0/0, actually less, but let's not get into details.
Ask level3 to lend you 8.8.8.8. It appears that google did so and it worked.
