Transition to Self-Managed IP Addresses

Timeline

1. Sep 10, 2026, 05:35 PM UTC

   Dear Customer,

   Over the past year, global IP address leasing costs have continued to rise. Leased IPs are subject to market fluctuations, vendor policy changes, and contract terms, which present limitations in long-term stability and independent control. To provide a more stable and reliable service environment and to mitigate the impact of rising costs, DMIT has fully transitioned to purchasing and independently managing IP addresses. We aim to absorb cost pressures as much as possible through this initiative, avoiding passing these costs on to customers.

   We understand that some customers may need to retain their existing Cogent IP addresses (i.e., IPs starting with 154) for business reasons. Therefore, we will continue to offer the option to use these IPs. However, due to the continuous increase in external leasing costs for these IP addresses, starting December 1, 2026, an additional rental subsidy fee will be applied to products that retain 154-prefix IPs. The standard fee will be 1 USD/IPv4 per month. This fee will be automatically added to the relevant product invoices. If you no longer require this IP, the additional fee will be removed.

   If you wish to avoid this additional fee or prefer to use our self-managed IP addresses, you can log in to your product control panel at any time and manually request an IP address change in the network tab (select the Discontinued Cogent IP rule). This IP change is free of charge and has no prerequisites.

   *If your service does not currently have any IP addresses starting with 154, you will not be affected by this adjustment.

   Thank you for your continued understanding, support, and trust in DMIT. If you encounter any issues during the IP change process or with your service, please contact our customer service team.

   Additional Notes:

   1. The IP "surcharge" applies only to renewal orders generated after December 1. Existing order prices will not be modified. Renewal prices will not change; only the IP surcharge will be added.
   2. You can complete your renewal before the renewal order is generated to temporarily avoid the additional fee.
   3. You can also change your IP before the renewal order is generated to avoid the additional fee.
   4. There will be no changes to the current billing cycle.
   5. For more rules, please refer to ToS Clause "15. Price Change".
