Features
Address families
- IPv4 — standard public IPv4, available in every region. Reserved at $3 / month
- IPv6 — single public IPv6, available in every region. Reserved at $1 / month (cheaper than IPv4 — IPv6 address space isn’t scarce)
- Dual-stack supported — a VM can have one IPv4 and one IPv6 simultaneously
Two lifecycles
- Auto-assigned — free pool IP, returns to pool on detach. Free while attached
- Reserved — IPv4 $3/month, IPv6 $1/month, persists through VM rebuilds and detaches, movable between VMs
Where they’re managed
- Networking → Public IPs tab — account-wide list, reserve, auto-assign, attach, detach, release
- VM detail → Network tab — per-VM view, add/remove IPs, attach Firewall to a specific IP
- Networking → Diagram — visual map, click the IP chip floating above a VM for Copy IP / Detach actions
Firewall integration
- Each public IP can have one Firewall attached to filter inbound traffic
- Attach via the IP card on a VM’s Network tab (
Firewall: None / Attach) - See Firewall for rule-set creation
Movability (reserved only)
- Detach from one VM, attach to another in the same region — the address stays the same
- Standard pattern for blue/green deploys, manual failover, partner-whitelist preservation
- Auto-assigned IPs are not movable — detach returns them to the pool
Pricing
| Type | Rate |
|---|---|
| Auto-assigned IPv4 / IPv6 (attached) | Free |
| Auto-assigned, detached | N/A — auto-assigned IPs are never detached without being released |
| Reserved IPv4 (attached or unattached) | $3.00 / month ($0.0069/hr) |
| Reserved IPv6 (attached or unattached) | $1.00 / month ($0.0023/hr) |
| Yearly lock-in | $36/yr (IPv4) / $12/yr (IPv6) |
| 24-month lock-in | $72/2yr (IPv4) / $24/2yr (IPv6) |
| Additional IPs beyond the dashboard limit (support-only) | Same per-IP rate by family — IPv4 $3/mo, IPv6 $1/mo |
| Gateway IPs (Platform Router, Firewall Appliance WAN) | Free with Platform Router; rolled into Firewall Appliance VM price |
Limits
| Item | Limit |
|---|---|
| Public IPv4 per VM (dashboard) | 1 — one IPv4 from the dashboard |
| Public IPv6 per VM (dashboard) | 1 — one IPv6 from the dashboard |
| Public IPs per VM (with support) | More on request — $3/month per additional IP |
| Reserved IPs per account | No hard cap published; subject to overall account capacity |
| Region scope | Each IP is bound to one region — non-portable across regions |
| IP-type swap on a VM | A VM can’t simultaneously hold two IPv4s from the dashboard, or two IPv6s — remove the existing one first |
| Time to attach/detach | Seconds — propagates through cloud-init / DHCP within a few seconds |
Regional availability
| Region | Status |
|---|---|
| US East | Available today — both IPv4 and IPv6 |
| Other regions | Coming with the rest of the multi-region rollout |
What’s not available today
- Anycast IPs — single IP that’s announced from multiple regions
- BYOIP / IP import — bringing your own AS-prefixed IP block
- Floating Virtual IP (VRRP-style) between VMs without a manual detach/attach — the move-IP pattern is the closest equivalent
- Per-IP tagging or notes — coming with the broader resource-tags rollout
