I want to become a Direct Assignment User. How much does it cost?
The cost of becoming a Direct Assignment User depends on the time of year in which your application is processed. For example, if your organisation applies for a direct assignment in the second quarter, you will pay three quarters of the annual mainentance fee. If your organisation applies for a direct assignment in the fourth quarter, you will pay only a quarter of the annual mainentance fee.
- Dutch applicants and applicants from elsewhere in the EU without VAT numbers will be charged 19% Dutch VAT on top of the mainentance fee.
- All new applicants also pay a one-time administration fee of EUR 2,000. You will be charged for this on your first invoice.
For a detailed overview of the costs involved in becoming a Direct Assignment User, please see the RIPE NCC Charging Scheme and the RIPE NCC Billing Procedure and Fee Schedule.
Please note: The RIPE NCC will reach the last /8 of IPv4 address space in the coming months. This may affect the amount of address space assigned or allocated. When the RIPE NCC starts allocating IPv4 address space from the last /8, no new IPv4 Provider Independent (PI) space will be assigned.
