Addresses that move between servers in 5 seconds.
A floating IP belongs to the project, not to a server. Point it at any server in its region, and move it with one API call when that server fails.
From €1.99 per address a month
Features
An address the project holds.
Moves in 5 seconds
Reassign an address with one call, and the network routes it to the other server within 5 seconds.
Failover with keepalived
Pair two servers with keepalived, and let the healthy one claim the address through the API.
Outlives the server
Delete or rebuild a server, and its floating IP stays in the project, ready to assign again.
Reverse DNS
Set the PTR record of each address, as mail servers and many spam filters expect.
IPv6 as well
Floating IPv6 /64 networks move between servers the same way, and they are not billed.
Several per server
Assign several addresses to one server, for services that each need their own, such as mail and VPN.
Pricing
Billed while the project holds it.
A floating IPv4 address is billed from creation to deletion, assigned or not. Floating IPv6 networks are not billed.

Code

A logiciel_floating_ip belongs to a region, and an assignment points it at a server. Change the assignment to move it.
- An address that stays when the server behind it is replaced.
- Reverse DNS set beside the address.
- The same move through the API, for keepalived scripts.

Works with
Load balancers
Spread TCP and HTTP traffic across the servers that pass their health checks. TLS certificates are issued and renewed for you.
Cloud servers
AMD EPYC vCPUs, an NVMe disk and 20 TB of traffic a month. Shared vCPUs for most work, and dedicated ones for steady load.
DNS
Host your zones on anycast nameservers with DNSSEC signing. Manage records in the console, the API,
lcor Terraform, with no charge.
Start with one server and one command.
Choose a region and a plan, and add an SSH key. The server answers SSH 38 seconds after the command, at the price on its spec sheet.
