Your Public Presence, Fully Under Your Control
Acquire static public IPs on demand and assign them anywhere — Instances, load balancers, or VPCs. Persistent, flexible, and yours until you choose to release them.
Key Features
Static, persistent public IP addresses that stay under your control. Assign, reassign, and manage them across Instances, VPCs, and load balancers with full flexibility.
Static Public IP
Reserve a dedicated public IP address that remains assigned to your account regardless of instance state. Ensure your services are always reachable at a fixed, predictable address — no DNS changes after reboots or reassignments.
Elastic IP Reassignment
Instantly remap a reserved IP from one instance to another with no downtime. Redirect live traffic to a standby server during failures or maintenance — without changing DNS records or waiting for propagation.
IPv4 & IPv6 Support
Provision both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for your cloud resources. Future-proof your infrastructure with native dual-stack support — serving modern clients over IPv6 while maintaining full backward compatibility with IPv4.
Reverse DNS Management
Configure custom PTR records for your public IP addresses — mapping IPs back to hostnames. Meet email server requirements, improve deliverability, and satisfy compliance policies that mandate verified reverse DNS entries.
IP-Level Firewall Binding
Attach firewall rules and security policies directly to a public IP address. Control inbound and outbound traffic at the IP layer — applying consistent access rules regardless of which instance the address is currently mapped to.
NAT & Port Forwarding
Map a single public IP to multiple private instances using NAT and port forwarding rules. Expose specific services on defined ports without assigning a public IP to every instance — keeping your private network surface minimal.
Use Cases
Public IP addresses are how your cloud services meet the world. Here's how teams use them to expose services, secure access, and maintain consistent connectivity.
Hosting Public-Facing Services
Assign a static public IP to your web server, API gateway, or load balancer — giving external users and DNS records a fixed, permanent address that never changes across reboots, migrations, or instance replacements.
Failover & Disaster Recovery
Remap a reserved public IP from a failed instance to a healthy standby in seconds. Restore service availability instantly without updating DNS or waiting for TTL expiry — minimizing downtime during unexpected failures.
Email Server Configuration
Assign a dedicated static IP to your mail server and configure matching reverse DNS PTR records. Improve email deliverability, pass SPF and DKIM checks, and meet strict requirements from receiving mail servers and spam filters.
IP Whitelisting & Access Control
Use a fixed public IP to whitelist your infrastructure with third-party APIs, payment gateways, and partner services. Guarantee your outbound requests always originate from a known, trusted address that passes external firewall rules.
