Where can I buy a block of Internet IP address for Business? How much does it cost?
Only five? Really? Our basic residential users get 18 quintillion addresses, and business users get 65536 times that many. Tell them you need a few more. :-)
Actually residential users do. One /64 is not enough. On can argue about whether a /56 or a /48 is appropriate for residential users but a single /64 isn't and residential ISP's should be planning to hand out more than a single /64 to their customers.
Seriously, we do indeed provide that many addresses, but that's on a new protocol being implemented to avoid the exact problem you're having.
Talk to your sales guy and see if they will assign a "/28" to you, which would give you 13 usable addresses for your hosts. If not, and you have a valid need for more space, switch ISPs.
