In the IPv4 market, the customer <a href=\"https:\/\/atalnetworks.com\/lease-ipv4-ipv6-asn\/\">rents address space<\/a> from a resource holder or an authorized supplier. The agreement does not, by itself, transfer permanent registration rights.\n                    <\/p>\n                    <p class=\"text-base leading-relaxed mb-4\">\n                        For a hosting company, ISP, or business network, leasing can provide public IPv4 capacity without the initial cost of acquiring a block through a transfer.
