  • Move an application

    Prepare a compatible VPS, then reassign its additional address during a planned cutover.

  • Keep endpoint references stable

    DNS records and destination allowlists can keep pointing to the same public IP.

  • Reuse your primary address

    After deleting a VPS and completing cleanup, use its reserved primary IP on a new VPS.

Reassignment moves the address. Your application and data need their own migration.

Good to know

A few details before you reserve.

Understand compatibility, planned moves and reservation billing.
