Class A IP Hosting in the EU: A Class IPs and First-Octet Diversity

European A class IP hosting on multiple Class A dedicated IPs, drawn from the 10% of the world's 255 Class A blocks we own. Every address carries a different first octet: the widest separation two IPv4 addresses can have, with private ns1/ns2 nameservers per domain and cPanel/WHM.

Class A IP pricing · Europe

One price per IP, per month, in USD. There is a single band on the European product: no volume ladder, because the pool is not deep enough to reward volume. European orders run from 3 to 20 addresses.

3–20 IPs

The European Class A allocation is the narrower of the two. Our EU infrastructure carries 500 addresses in total, and only a thin slice of those sit under distinct first octets, so one order can take at most 20.

USA · sibling product

The American pool is larger at 800 addresses, so the ceiling is double and the rate is lower, from $8.50/IP. Class A USA →

The European ceiling is not an upsell mechanic: it is arithmetic. Longer billing terms carry the standard site-wide discounts, selected in the order form before you pay; the cheapest dedicated IP anywhere on the platform works out at $2.63/mo on the longest term. Every European Class A order includes private ns1/ns2 nameservers, cPanel/WHM, free SSL and the 30-day money-back guarantee.

Why Class A is the maximum diversity

An IPv4 address is four octets: a.b.c.d. Class C hosting varies the third. Class B varies the second. Class A varies the first: the leftmost number there is. Once the first octet differs, two addresses have no shared component left to group them by.

Class C or B diversity only one first octet · 198.x.x.x 198.18.4.xx 198.19.7.xx 198.51.100.xx 198.18.220.xx octets 2 and 3 vary · first octet identical
Still one number joining them. The blocks and the parent ranges differ, but every address still opens with 198: one leftmost number that gathers the whole network back up.
Class A diversity · SEOHost Europe five first octets · nothing shared 192.0.2.xx 198.51.100.xx 203.0.113.xx 100.64.7.xx 172.16.8.xx first octet varies · no common component
No number in common. Change the first octet and two of your European sites stop sharing any part of their address: there is nothing left to the left to group them by.

How far each class actually moves the needle

The three products are the same hosting on three widths of address diversity, separated by exactly one position in the address. Every figure below is the monthly equivalent on a 3-year term. Class C gives every site a distinct third octet: non-consecutive blocks, the deepest European pool, the right answer for most networks at $2.98/IP. Class B moves the difference to the second octet at $4.55/IP, so two sites no longer share a parent range. Class A moves it to the first, and that is where the sequence ends: there is no fourth product, because there is no octet further left to buy.

The honest version: none of this is a ranking factor on its own, and we will not pretend otherwise. What address diversity removes is a shared liability and a visible pattern. Sites answering on one first octet share a reputation, share the fallout when a neighbour is blocklisted, and present an obvious shape to anyone who sorts your domains by their leading number. Class A takes that shape away completely; whether that is worth $9.00 a month per address is a judgement about your own risk, not a promise about rankings.

When the first octet earns its price

Three cases come up repeatedly on the European side. A client portfolio where the clients are direct competitors and the sites must not be traceable to one another: one shared leading octet undoes that, and separate branding does not fix it. A small, tightly themed European network where every site targets the same language and audience: the tighter the theme, the louder a shared address component reads. And a set of linking domains whose whole value rests on each one reading as an unrelated independent host.

If none of those describe your build, buy Class C in Europe and put the difference into content. The EU Class C pool is deeper, its ceiling far higher, and for most networks the third octet is already more separation than anyone is checking for.

Only 255 Class A blocks exist, and we own 10%

This is the part that explains the price, the ceiling and why the European order stops at 20. Class A scarcity is not a marketing frame; it is a hard limit written into IPv4 itself.

Scarcity, in one number

A supply nobody can add to

The first octet of an IPv4 address is a single byte, and that byte is what defines a Class A block, capping the total at 255 for the entire internet. Universities, governments, carriers, cloud providers and every hosting company that has ever existed all draw from the same 255. No registry can issue a 256th.

  • We hold 10% of them. Roughly one block in ten across the grid. The addresses on this product come from allocations we hold, not ranges leased from an upstream that can take them back.
  • The European share is the narrower half. Our EU infrastructure runs 500 addresses against 800 in the USA, and Class A allocations are cut from that smaller pool: the whole reason the European ceiling is 20 IPs while the American one is 20.
  • Scarcity sets the price. At $9.00/IP a European Class A address costs roughly twice a European Class C one. That gap is the supply curve: every address sold is one nobody else can have.
  • The cap keeps the pool usable. If you need more European addresses than 20, the answer is Class C or Class B orders alongside: not a larger Class A order that would drain the allocation for everyone else.

Included with every European Class A order

No paid add-ons for the basics. A 3-IP order gets exactly the same feature set as a 20-IP one.

Why Europe

Why put your Class A network in Europe

On this product the region decides three separate things: which legal framework covers the data sitting on the addresses, how far a European visitor's request has to travel, and how deep the pool your order is cut from actually is.

  • EU jurisdiction, end to end. The servers are in the EU and the company behind them, Seo Hosting LTD, is registered in Malta, inside the Union, trading since 2009. When a GDPR review asks where personal data is physically processed, the answer is a European datacenter, with no third-country transfer mechanism to argue about.
  • Data residency you can put in a contract. Sites, databases and backups stay on the European servers the account is provisioned on: a one-line answer for public-sector tenders and regulated clients instead of a legal appendix.
  • Amsterdam and Frankfurt, not a US datacenter with an EU label. Those are the two locations an EU order lands in, both on top of the densest peering in Europe. A visitor in Milan, Warsaw or Madrid reaches the host without crossing an ocean, and server response time is the one part of Largest Contentful Paint you can actually buy.
  • A continent of separation from the USA pool. If half your network already sits in the USA, moving the other half here separates the two by geography and routing, not only by an octet.

Choosing Europe over the USA pool

Pick Europe when your audience, your clients or your contracts are European, or when data residency is a question you would rather answer in one sentence. Pick the USA pool when they are not, when the rate matters more than the jurisdiction at $8.50/IP, or when you need more than 20 Class A addresses in one order. Plenty of networks buy both: the two products bill separately but sit behind a single WHM login, and the IP Manager tool assigns addresses from either side to whichever site needs them.

European Class A hosting: frequently asked questions

Straight answers, real numbers. Still stuck? Open a ticket, we answer 24/7/365.

What actually makes an IP address "Class A"?
The first octet. An IPv4 address is four numbers, a.b.c.d. Class C hosting varies the third, Class B the second, Class A the first: the leftmost number there is. Two addresses that differ in the first octet share no block, no parent range and no top-level allocation, which makes this the widest diversity any host can sell you.
Why does the European Class A pool stop at 20 IPs per order?
Because only 255 Class A blocks exist in the whole IPv4 address space, and the European side of our network is the narrower half of what we hold. The American ceiling is 20 addresses; the European one is 20. Our EU infrastructure carries 500 addresses in total and only a thin slice of those sit under distinct first octets, so capping an order at 20 keeps that slice spread across many customers instead of letting one network take it all.
You say you own 10% of the Class A blocks. What does that mean in practice?
10% of the world's 255 Class A blocks means the addresses come out of allocations we hold, not ranges leased month to month from an upstream. The practical consequence is stability: the first octet on your site does not change because a provider reshuffled its inventory. It also explains the price and the ceiling: nobody can conjure a 256th Class A block, so every address here is drawn from a fixed, finite supply.
Does a European Class A order keep my data inside the EU?
Yes. The servers sit in European datacenters: Amsterdam and Frankfurt are what an EU order lands in, and your sites, databases and backups live and are served from there. The billing entity is Seo Hosting LTD, registered in Malta and trading since 2009. When a GDPR data-processing agreement or a public-sector tender asks where processing physically happens, the answer is short and involves no third-country transfer mechanism.
Is Class A worth the extra over Class B or Class C in Europe?
It depends on how visible your network needs to be from outside. European Class C starts at $2.98/IP for a distinct third octet, and the pool behind it is far deeper, enough for most networks. Class B at $4.55/IP moves the difference to the second octet. Class A at $9.00/IP moves it to the first, the only level where two of your sites share no part of their address at all.
How long does a European Class A order take to activate?
There is no waiting period. Provisioning is automated and runs 24/7/365, so the account is active the moment your payment clears: no manual review, no allocation queue. Every European order includes private ns1/ns2 nameservers per domain, cPanel/WHM, free SSL and the 30-day money-back guarantee, on the same 99.9% uptime infrastructure as the rest of the platform.
