How Do I Get a Dedicated IP Address on a Vultr Compute Instance?

Updated on 15 September, 2025

Explains that Vultr Compute instances receive static public IP addresses upon deployment that remain assigned until instance deletion, not true dedicated IPs

Vultr Compute instances do not have dedicated IP addresses. When you deploy a new instance, Vultr assigns a static public IP address from its available pool. This IP remains associated with the instance as long as it exists. However, once the instance is deleted, the IP is released back into the pool and may be reassigned.

If you need a persistent and transferable IP address, use a Reserved IP. It is a publicly accessible static IP address that is not tied to a specific instance. You can:

  • Assign it to any instance in the same region.
  • Move it between instances at any time.
  • Use it to maintain continuity in services when redeploying or replacing instances.

To get started, refer to the Reserved IP provisioning guide for detailed steps on reserving and attaching it to your instance..
