help OVHcloud Dedicated IPs FAQ
What is an OVHcloud dedicated IP used for?
An OVHcloud dedicated IP is assigned to a specific cloud instance, VPS, bare metal server, or other service rather than being shared across unrelated customers. Common uses include hosting a website, configuring reverse DNS, running mail infrastructure, and assigning a stable endpoint to a server.
Can OVHcloud dedicated IPs be used with bare metal servers?
Yes, OVHcloud documents additional or floating IP options for Bare Metal Cloud as well as Public Cloud and Hosted Private Cloud services. The exact routing and failover method depends on whether the address is attached directly, moved between services, or configured through an OVHcloud network feature.
Does OVHcloud include DDoS protection with dedicated IP services?
OVHcloud integrates network-level Anti-DDoS protection into many of its server products, including dedicated servers. Protection can involve traffic detection and redirection to OVHcloud scrubbing centers, but it does not replace application firewalls or server hardening.
