I apologize in advance if this is an ISP 101 question. Is there any reasonable method for acquiring a registered Class C address these days? We are opening a data center in England and need at least 2 registered Class C addresses IP for the production network. Last time I checked, subnetted class C registered addresses were still available (within the Class A range), but pure Class C addresses were not. We very strongly prefer to avoid subnetting addresses because this becomes extremely difficult maintain when the network becomes large (as this will). The reserved private range address are not appropriate because this will not be a private network. Please reply directly to me and I will issue a summary to the group.
