Get a Floating IP address for servers in your project within a selected region
Configure network interface for selected target servers that may use this Floating IP
Re-attach your Floating IP manually or programmatically via UI, CLI, API or SDK
Enable rapid failover in your high availability setup by quickly reassigning your load to another server if the primary server fails.
Conduct your maintenance operations more seamlessly by moving your services to a different server without changing the public-facing IP address.
Achieve network redundancy and ensure connectivity by moving Floating IP addresses between different network interfaces or network paths.
Quickly setup and teardown development & testing environments while maintaining consistent consistent IP addresses for testing external integrations.
Floating IPs let you quickly reassign a public IP address to another server. This keeps your services online during maintenance or sudden load changes. You can easily reattach the IP whenever needed. Use our simple Client Portal, API, CLI, or SDK for this. With built-in DNS for PTR and A records, managing your domain settings is easy. Optional DDoS protection adds security, ensuring minimal disruption during busy times. This setup gives you full control over your network. It is ideal for businesses that need to manage resources swiftly.
Floating IPs support infrastructure scaling by enabling quick traffic redirection. When you order a Floating IP, you gain a dedicated address that can be attached to servers within your project across multiple data centers. This flexibility lets you boost resources during peak traffic without long downtime. You can re-attach your Floating IP to another server easily, which supports redundancy and load balancing. This dynamic process boosts your network's performance and reduces bottlenecks.
Floating IPs help reduce latency and boost overall throughput. They act as a central hub for managing inbound and outbound traffic. This improves real-time processing and response times. You gain low-latency connections, vital for performance-critical applications like streaming and online transactions. The architecture also supports efficient DNS setup. It helps maintain consistent, reliable connections. This way, users enjoy fast and smooth access at all times.
Floating IPs lower your network management costs by allowing you to pay only for the resources you need. At €0.002 per hour, you gain a flexible, budget-friendly solution that reduces the expense of acquiring multiple static IPs. You can manage your floating IP assignments easily and optimize resource usage without incurring extra costs. This efficient approach minimizes overhead and provides a clear path to maintaining high network performance while keeping costs in check.
Floating IP is a public IP address that can be instantly moved from one server to another within a Project and in the same region. When attached, the address is dedicated to a specific server, until you unassign it.
A Floating IP functions by dynamically routing network traffic to the assigned server. It uses modern routing protocols and DNS configuration to ensure seamless connectivity. When a server becomes unavailable, the IP can reattach to another server quickly. This ensures continuous service.
Order a Floating IP through your Cherryservers Client Portal. Then, attach it to your chosen server using the simple interface. The process also supports management via UI, API, CLI, or SDK, allowing manual or programmatic re-attachment. This ensures that your server remains reachable even during hardware changes.
A Self IP is permanently tied to a specific server, while a Floating IP can move between servers as needed. This dynamic reassignment allows you to handle maintenance and load balancing efficiently.
