Any IPXO experience?
I'm on the ARIN IPv4 waitlist and should end up getting filled in 2 or 3 more distributions. I need to grab some space before then and obviously IPXO is an option. I don't want to get screwed and have the IP space called back with too little notice. I was looking to do a 2 - 5 year contract. Anyone have experience with IPXO leasing? Good, bad, ugly?

We have been working with them for a long time and so far it's going well without any problems, although one time we only received that the owner wanted more money to continue using his IP block, so we looked for another one and we didn't satisfy him. Their panel is very complete.
How much notice did you get? Are you able to review the owner/seller or is it all blind?
They gave me 15 days' notice to renew the next month (we have a month-to-month contract).
When you search their website, you'll see the available ranges, and you can search on different sites to verify who owns the ranges.
Appreciate the insight!
being honest here, if you're looking for long-term, try reaching out to folks over here at LET and the IP thread.
as a monthly customer, it's mostly fine. customer support can be slow, if it's billing related, make sure to raise it before due dates
I thought they allowed for contracts but I couldn't find them now on IPXO. Honestly, I rented a cool range for a month. I contacted billing to see if we could move it to a contract. If they let me, I'll keep it. If not, I'll probably use it for a small project that doesn't really need its own IP space but life is short and I'm here to have fun.
Or is there another reason you recommend going elsewhere for long-term?
I have 7 blocks through IPXO. I just got a waitlist fulfillment, so will be using that for the next use. But overall, IPXO has been great to work with. They pass along any abuse complaints so we can address them. The control panel is useful as well. They have tried to push a few blocks for longer term contracts, but I haven't tried any of them yet.
Mentally strong people deploy IPv6 only and stay away from predatory marketplace such as IPXO.
Congrats on the fulfillment, its been a long 18 months for me! Really hoping to hit double digits on the list in the next disbursement
So you're on 7 month-to-month contracts? Any issues/surprises?
Thankfully I'm not mentally strong
Monthly contracts are safest experience.

I joined the waitlist in July 2023 and was fulfilled in April 2025, so around 20 months for me.
There are a few blocks fulfilled by ColoCrossing and they don't allow rDNS. Their listing doesn't tell you this before hand which kind of sucks, but I just learned to avoid their blocks. IPXO also came to me a few months back and said that one of the IP lessors wanted to take their block back, but we agreed to a higher rate. I have questions as to whether or not they did want their block back because I have other blocks from this lessor and they said nothing. I kind of felt it was a quick money grab by IPXO, but at least I didn't have to re-number everyone on that block.
For the record, I just received a reply in 10 minutes asking them if it's be possible to extend my contract terms on a new range on the weekend.
How much was the raise and how much notice did you get? Very interesting
It was about $15/month more. They notified me about 60 days prior to when the IP holder 'wanted' their block back. I had another block that went from $106/month to $138/month but I was already transferring everyone from that location so it worked out for me. I did notice that block is still up for leasing a year later.
