How to order a failover IP for Dedibox from the Scaleway console

Reviewed on October 28, 2025

Failover IP addresses allow you to assign multiple IPs to the same server. For example, you could use one IP for each website or virtual machine hosted on the server.

Each failover IP can be routed to any of your Dedibox servers at any time in just a few minutes using the Scaleway console or API. By switching failover IP addresses from one server to another, hosted services remain available without reconfiguring the IP address.

Failover IPs can be purchased as single IP addresses (with a defined maximum number of IPs per Dedibox server, depending on your offer) or as /27 IP blocks for Dedibox servers with the Business service level.

Before you start

To complete the actions presented below, you must have:

• A Scaleway account logged into the console
• Owner status or IAM permissions allowing you to perform actions in the intended Organization
• Ordered a Dedibox server

1. Click Dedibox in the Bare Metal section of the side menu.

2. Click the Failover IPs tab to display a list of your failover IPs.

3. Click + Order a failover IP. A pop-up displays.

4. Choose the number of failover IPs you want to order. If you have servers with a Business service level, you can also order /27 IP blocks.

   Note

   You can order up to 10 addresses at a time.

5. Click Order failover IP to validate your order.

   The failover IP is delivered to your account and displays in the list of failover IPs.
