INIZ Sold

[William]

That's on the very low end. Perhaps if you bought a /15  (131,072 IPs) could you secure a rate like that ( http://ipv4marketgroup.com/broker-services/buy/ ).

Back in 2011, well before IPv4 exhaustion, Microsoft paid $11.25 per IP on a purchase of 666,624 IPs ( http://www.networkworld.com/article/2228854/microsoft-subnet/microsoft-pays-nortel--7-5-million-for-ipv4-addresses.html ).

No, 7$ is very reasonable even for a /20. You don't buy IPs from brokers if you are serious.

The Microsoft sale is what set market prices actually.

If MS had paid say, $2/IP, then market values would be a buck or so per IP.

Taking a second to click on the verification email that ICANN/registrars send out prevents things like this...

Nameserver records returned by the parent servers are:

ns1.verification-hold.suspended-domain.com.   ['74.54.206.181']   [TTL=172800]
ns2.verification-hold.suspended-domain.com.   ['67.15.184.90']   [TTL=172800]

He verified it now so the suspension only lasted a few hours and the site will be accessible when the DNS propagates.  The contact info was changed on October 8th and the new ICANN rules require verification within 15 days whenever any contact info is changed, hence the domain suspension at midnight.

Well, i and other people never click on links in emails.

UK2 (where the Iniz domain is registered) currently has 62,301 other people with suspended domains who didn't click on the verification links.  This is one time when you should click on a link.

edited to add: I just noticed the Iniz website and my SmokePing server (a VIA Nano) are neighbors (same /24).
