Should You Bring Your Own IPv4 Addresses to the Cloud?

BYOIP Calculator

The calculator below compares the estimated cost of using public IPv4 addresses assigned by a cloud services provider with leasing BYOIP-ready space, using addresses you already own, or purchasing an IPv4 block. Select the block sizes you need, your expected use, provider billing model, time horizon, and whether you already own the addresses.

Cost Comparison

Compare provider-assigned IPv4 with three acquisition paths

The provider baseline estimates the cost of continuing with provider-assigned public IPv4. Lease, Lease-to-Own, and Buy show the modeled cash cost and ownership outcome over the selected term.
