A IP failover is an address that you can tap from one server to another. It ensures continuity of service: if a server falls, you reassign the IP to a backup server.
Toggle IP
- From the client space, open the management of additional IP
- Reassign IP to destination service
- Configure the address on the new server (see Linux/Windows guides)
Server-side configuration
On the target server, add IP failover as a secondary address and check the gateway. The time to spread the tip is usually short.
Use cases
- High availability (HA) between two servers
- Migration without changing your public address
- Planned maintenance without visible cutout
