Why Choose Shikanoko?

Legitimate RIPE NCC LIR sponsorship — no gray-market shortcuts.

Legitimate & Compliant LIR

Registered RIPE NCC LIR (ORG-SNL106-RIPE). Every ASN and IPv6 allocation follows official RIPE NCC policies. No gray-market methods, no unauthorized shortcuts. You can verify our status directly on the RIPE NCC portal.

Self-Service Process

Order online in minutes — fill in your details, upload documents, sign electronically, pay via Stripe. We handle the RIPE NCC submission; you track every step through your personal status link.

BGP-Ready from Day One

Your ASN is ready for BGP peering with any upstream provider, VPS host, or IX. Full /48 IPv6 PA prefix lets you announce your own IP space for anycast, multi-homed hosting, or ISP operations.

What is an ASN?

An Autonomous System Number is your network's unique identity on the internet. It lets you run BGP, peer with other networks, and control your own routing — essential for any serious infrastructure. RIPE NCC is the Regional Internet Registry for Europe, recognized by all major carriers worldwide.

With your own ASN, you can run BGP on a VPS or dedicated server — perfect for anycast DNS, multi-homed hosting, or building your own ISP. We make BGP accessible without the overhead of direct RIPE NCC membership. Our self-service LIR sponsorship includes everything you need: your ASN number and a /48 IPv6 PA prefix, ready for BGP peering with any upstream provider.

Who is This For?

  • ISPs & Network Startups — Peer and announce IP space without full RIPE membership costs.
  • Data Centers & Hosting — Establish direct BGP sessions with upstreams and exchanges.
  • Enterprises & Multihomed — Connect to multiple providers under your own ASN.
  • Companies Outside Europe — Need a RIPE ASN for global reach without direct membership.
