Buying an Additional IP (Public Cloud)

View as Markdown

Learn how to obtain an Additional IP for an OVHcloud Public Cloud project.

Since October 6th, 2022 our service "Failover IP" is named Additional IP. This renaming does not affect its technical features.

You may need to configure an Additional IP address on your instances for different reasons. For example, you may be:

  • Hosting several websites on your instance.
  • Hosting international projects.

To meet these needs, you can order an Additional IP address for your Public Cloud instances.

These Additional IP addresses can only be migrated to instances in the same project.

  1. Open your Public Cloud project.
  2. In the left-hand menu, open Public IPs under the Network heading.
