Reserve IP
A Reserved IP is a static public IP address exclusively allocated to your account. Unlike dynamic IPs that change on instance restart, a Reserved IP stays constant — enabling stable DNS configurations, consistent external access, and failover setups.
How It Works
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| Reserved | IP is allocated to your account but not yet assigned to any resource |
| Attached | IP is actively routed to a specific instance or service |
| Detached | IP remains allocated to your account but is not in use |
| Released (Deleted) | IP is permanently removed from your account |
info
Reserved IPs continue to be billed to your account until explicitly deleted, even when not attached to any resource.
