Reserved IP How-Tos
DigitalOcean Reserved IPs are publicly-accessible static IPv4 addresses. Assign and reassign reserved IP addresses to Droplets as needed, or implement an automated failover mechanism with reserved IPs to build a high availability infrastructure. IPv6 support is now available in public preview. Enroll in the feature preview to create reserved IPv6 addresses.
Getting Started
Create a reserved IP and assign it to a Droplet to use it as an additional publicly-accessible IP address.
Reassign reserved IPs to different Droplets within the same datacenter or unassign them entirely.
Bind public services to your Droplet’s anchor IP to make them highly available through a reserved IP.
Reserved IP Management
Manually configure Droplets to enable reserved IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Delete reserved IPs to permanently remove them from your account.
Send outbound traffic from your Droplet over a reserved IP address.
