SYS: keep IP addresses ?

Hi,

I'm considering purchasing a BF server at soyoustart to replace my older server. The older server has some extra IP's (without monthly cost). Anyone knows whether I can keep the IP's (I intend to stay in the same location).

Thanks !

    @wlambrechts I believe you can, but I think you need to transfer them before you cancel the old server. I could be wrong as I've never used SYS before. Just OVH which could be the same. I used to move IP's around all the time like that.

  • Yes you can retain those extra IPs from your older server except for the main assigned IP address.

    can confirm. been there, done that ;-)

    you can reassign the additional IPs/subnets to another box, at least if the server is in the same account/branch/country. doesn't even cost anything.

    I am facing the same problem, as I would like to switch from an Dedi in Roubaix to an BF in Limburg.
    In the client-area, it seems to be possible to reassign them even to another datacenter. I havn't tried it yet and was a bit suspicious, so I phoned them:
    They will check, if it is possible right now, cause it was planed.
    I will update you about this.

    as far as I am aware for OVH it's still not possible to move IPs from e.g. france location to germany. I have a few 'parked' on a public cloud, waiting to be able to move them there. it still says something along the lines of 'continent change not possible' or so.

    I guess SYS isn't any different - but as said, if you want to move addon IPs from a server in france to another server in france, that's gonna be no issue - regardles of their geolocation btw.

    You are supposed to be able to move the "failover" ip from server to server.

    However when I tried to move failover ips that I bought 5 years ago, it doesn't work. Both servers were at OVH (not even SYS) Gravelines.

    I tried contacting OVH support and they keep telling me I need to shutdown my server for 12+ hours so their senior technicians can inspect it when they have time...

    So the only way you can tell if it will work is to try it out.

  • FO IPs can be transfer between servers/vps as long as that is in same country.
