Dedicated server in Europe in exchange for a /25 subnet (126 usable IPs)

We have a /24 subnet laying around here that we don't need in full. If anyone needs IPv4 and can offer us a dedicated server in Europe with gigabit uplink in return for a /25 subnet, we'd appreciate feedback via PM.
The /24 can also be announced under our ASN and we have no problem using it for TOR exit nodes.
We would then like to deploy the other half of the /24 on the server.
Preferred server locations:
- Czechia
- Slovakia
- Austria
- Serbia
- Italy
We should discuss everything else via PM.

Hello , tell my in PM what server specifications you want and it s possible help you

@Calin : Do you only offer servers in Romania?
Hello @Anthony2016 yes
If a (serious) hosting company might be interested in this, then they might to be assured they can use this ips for 4years+ if not more.
A "potential" ip change because you pull back your business is a risk and cause damange i.e host loosing customers (its bad for some customers to change ip)
What specs you need anyway? You will use 50% of that range on the dedicated server that is provided?
you can rent a /24 rn for about 100 to 130 usd p/m so you are looking at a dedi worth like 50-65 USD p/m
As we told you, we can rent IPs for you. Just contact us
You might be best renting a server, and a /25 from the provider, or just using BGP to use your /24, and paying for the server, most providers are going to be unwilling to provide a server free of charge, in return for a /25, as it poses a risk, should you wish to leave.
It is absolutely clear that if the deal goes through, we would be working with the hosting company on a permanent basis. There are therefore no risks.
We could also imagine renting two small VPS, which we would then pay for, but which would then have to be able to use our /24 prefix. We prefer an announcement under our own ASN for a better handling of potential complaints and in order to protect other networks.
We have no problems with complaints and we ignore them, besides that we use AS9050, an ASN with almost 2 million residential IPv4, very hard to block this ASN @Anthony2016

@Calin: Sounds good. My colleague already gave you a reply last night. Please check ticket #FRC-307879.

To be honest, about what you can expect from a business selling a server in return for a /25, no serious business that values uptime and reliability would do that, as there’s nothing stopping you nuking their access to the subnet at any time, potentially bringing clients offline.
Your best best here would be to either rent a cheap server from a provider that allows BGP for free, and using your /24, or looking for a cheap provider who have reasonably priced IPs
Hello @Hypere we have on plan with other 128 IPv4 launch Tor relay/Tor exit for help Tor network , so what it s wrong??
You have gprs at home and you want to setup 128 tor nodes?
They also have wooden racks and your ram will be on kingstone ssd.
I would definitely consider xtom.com and privex.io as reputable hosting providers. We gave both a /25 in exchange for a server. Ultimately, both sides benefit from this: Every hosting company has certain "problem customers" who cause complaints. They are reluctant to host them on their own IPs, but still don't want to lose them. Some of these are then on our IPs, because with a VPN service that offers remote port forwarding, there are also occasional BCL listings from Spamhaus. Unlike in the past, however, Spamhaus does not pose a major threat anyway: Fortunately, the days when they blacklisted providers' clean IP ranges in order to force them to get rid of certain customers are over after appropriate legal pressure. Spamhaus definitely overdid it with its methods bordering on coercion.
However, I agree with you that such an arrangement with a hosting company requires mutual trust.
