Reserved IP Support

DigitalOcean Reserved IP addresses are a publicly-accessible static IP addresses. Assign and reassign reserved IP addresses to Droplets as needed, or implement a failover mechanism with reserved IPs to build a high availability infrastructure.


You cannot convert a Droplet IP address into a Reserved IP.
Reserved IPs do not support SMTP traffic.
You cannot retain a Droplet’s IPv4 when you transfer the Droplet to a new region. Use a reserved IP address to maintain a static IP address.
You cannot create Droplets with a specific IP address, but you can use reserved IPs for a static address that you can migrate between Droplets.
Droplets do not have a dedicated IP address, but you can create a Reserved IP, which is a reassignable static IP address.
