- **Detailed Service Description:** We are a web hosting reseller. This /28 subnet (13 usable IPs) will be used to provide dedicated IPs for 10 of our clients who require unique SSL certificates for their e-commerce websites. Two IPs will be used for our private nameservers (ns1.examplehosting.com and ns2.examplehosting.com), and the remaining IP will be used by the primary mail service on the server.

- **Utilization Plan:** We will assign 8 of the 10 client IPs immediately upon allocation. The two nameserver IPs will also be configured on Day 1. This represents an initial 77% utilization (10/13 IPs). We have 2 new clients scheduled for onboarding within the next 30 days who will require the remaining 2 dedicated IPs, which will bring us to over 92% utilization well within the 90-day requirement.
    

IP Block Information

Available IPv4 Subnets

In IPv4 blocks, three addresses are typically reserved: the Network Address, the Gateway Address, and the Broadcast Address.

Available IPv6 Subnets

A /64 is the standard size for a single network and contains an astronomical number of addresses. Larger IPv6 allocations are measured by how many /64 networks they contain.
