How to order a Dedibox failover IP

Reviewed on 05 August 2024 • Published on 29 July 2021

Failover IP addresses allow you to have multiple IPs on a server, enabling you to assign a unique IP to each website or virtual machine. Each failover IP can be routed to your servers at any time in just a few minutes using our Account Management Console or API. By switching a failover IP addresses from one server to another, your hosted services remain available without the need to reconfigure the IP address.

Note

For each server, you can add failover IP addresses according to your service plan and service level.
Dedibox failover IPs are compatible only with Dedibox servers and cannot be assigned to other products such as Elastic Metal servers or Instances.

Before you start

To complete the actions presented below, you must have:

A Dedibox account logged into the console
A Dedibox dedicated server

Note

Failover IPs are associated with the Dedibox product and cannot be moved to a different product category. For example, a failover IP can be moved to another Dedibox server, but it cannot be transferred to other service types like Load Balancers or Elastic Metal servers.

How to order a failover IP for Dedibox servers

In your Dedibox console, click Server to display a list of your dedicated servers. Then click on the server you want to configure.
On the server’s status page, click Failover in the menu on the left.
The list of your existing failover IPs will display. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Order IP addresses.
Select either an IP block or an individual IP address and click Command failover IP block or Command failover IP for individual IPs.
Confirm the order by clicking Order.
Note
Failover IPs and failover IP blocks are paid options. They come with a monthly service charge and a one-time setup fee.

The failover IP is now available in your account, and you can assign it to your Dedibox server.
