Vultr doesn't allow selecting specific IP addresses for reservation; Reserved IPs are only available through automatic allocation or by converting existing instance IPs.
No, Vultr does not support reserving a specific public IP address independently. Vultr Reserved IPs are provisioned in two ways, either by adding a new Reserved IP, which automatically allocates an IP from Vultr’s available public IP pool, or by converting an existing instance’s assigned public IP into a reassignable Reserved IP.
Once a Reserved IP is created, it can be attached to an instance if it was provisioned as a new IP from Vultr’s available public IP pool. If the Reserved IP is created by converting an existing instance’s assigned public IP, it is automatically attached to that instance. In both cases, the Reserved IP can later be reassigned to any other instance within the same region without changing the IP address. This supports high availability, failover configurations, and consistent network addressing, while ensuring that IPs remain unique and conflict-free within Vultr’s infrastructure.
