ServInt IP Request Form

ServInt Internet Services Dedicated Servers

ServInt Internet Services Virtual Private Servers

A NOC that really cares; a userbase that helps each other out like a family; and of course -- the VPS with rock-steady performance. This is exactly what I hoped for, and exactly what I got with ServInt.

0. Introduction

This form is for customers requesting new IP address space from ServInt. It explains the requirements for new IP subnet allocations. Before requesting new IP address space from ServInt, please read RFC-2050. This form is NOT to be used by VPS customers for IP address assignment. VPS customers can contact sales@servint.com directly for any IP requests.

ARIN is the American Registry for Internet Numbers. ARIN allocates IP addresses to ISPs and track usages of the limited IPv4 address space. Because every ISP ultimately has to obtain IP addresses from ARIN, the ARIN IP address Allocation Policy affects all users of the Internet, including end users.

End-users are required by ARIN to meet the requirements described in these guidelines for justifying the assignment of address space. Utilization rate of address space is a key factor in justifying new assignments of IP address space. Requesters must show how existing address assignments have been utilized and provide detailed information on immediate (3 month) use of the space being requested. Note that ARIN policy currently calls for 80% usage of existing allocations before issuing additional space.

This form is intended to collect information used to justify your requested allocation, and to record that allocation in the public WHOIS registry.

Address space provided by ServInt to our end users is non-portable and not for sub-delegation outside your organization. Please bear this in mind when requesting address space from us.

To request IP space, please fill out this form as completely as possible. If you have questions or comments about this form, please let us know at sales@servint.com.

1. Organization Section

Internet address assignments of /29 and larger are registered to their assigned user and this assignment information is publically viewable via WHOIS. In this section you need to provide contact information for your organization for the requested IP assignment.

1.0 E-mail address: (Required)
Please enter your e-mail address. This form cannot be processed without one.

## List all existing IP addresses utilized on your network. 
## e.g. 192.2.3.0/24

2.3 Existing Network Topology
Explain how existing IP addresses have been utilized, using this format:

## ---------------------------------------------------
## Subnet#    Subnet Mask      Hosts  Description
## ---------------------------------------------------
## 1.0        255.255.255.224    8    Network
## 1.1        255.255.255.224    17   DNS

## 1.4        255.255.255.224    12   (other - explain)

2.4 Initial Host Count
Please provide the initial host count of the network. A host is defined as any node or device, e.g., PC or printer that requires a unique IP address.

2.5 Host Count Within 3 months (Required)
Please provide the projected number of hosts within 3 months of the requested allocation.

3. Registration Section

3.1 Prefix Length Requested (Required)
Please select the new allocation size being requested:
(All allocations must be approved by ServInt's sales department prior to request, and all associated costs must be agreed upon.)

3.2 Planned Network Topology (Required)
Please outline how the requested allocation will be utilized both initially and within one year, using the format below.

## ----------------------------------------------------------
##                             Hosts Hosts
## Subnet#    Subnet Mask       Now   1yr    Description
## ----------------------------------------------------------
## 1.0        255.255.255.224    8     16   Network

3.2.1 IP Assignment to Servers (Required)

List the server(s) and number of IPs to allocate to each.

## Server1    --  /29
## Server2    --  /28
## Server3    --  /29

3.3 Additional Information
Please provide any additional information relevant for us to consider in processing this IP allocation request.

3.4 Reverse Name Servers
Every network should have at least two distinct name servers for providing address-to-name mapping for hosts in the network (reverse name resolution). If ServInt is performing this function for you you can skip this question. If you operate your own nameservers and would like us to delegate reverse DNS for your network, please answer this question:

## If you are providing IN-ADDR.ARPA name service for this
## network list the hostnames of at least two name servers.
## Do not provide IP addresses.

3.5 POC Handle
If your organization already has an ARIN Point of Contact (POC) handle, please provide it here.

## Applicable POC types include:
## Technical (T), Abuse (AB), Network Operations Center (N)

3.6 Public Comments
