BYOIP — Bring Your Own IP

Your own IP addresses on HOSTOFF.NET infrastructure

Bring your own IPv4 prefix and it becomes your personal pool: addresses are assigned to your servers automatically, and changing an IP is free.

The problem

Changing hosting should not mean changing IPs

Migration breaks everything

New IPs mean rewriting DNS, whitelists, integrations and partner rules.

Address reputation is not portable

You spent years building it, and the provider hands you someone else’s block with an unknown history.

Provider lock-in

The addresses are not yours, and you cannot take them with you.

BYOIP removes all three: the addresses stay yours, only the network announcing them changes.

Capabilities

Your addresses, our network

Your prefix is registered in our IPAM system, announced from the location you choose and turned into a personal pool you hand out to your own servers.

Your prefix is your pool

One or several prefixes per pool, several pools per account. Everything is visible: used, free, reserved and utilization in percent.

Automatic assignment on VPS order

A new server in the same location immediately gets an address from your block. Your prefix already takes priority over the shared pool.

Free IP change

Changing the primary IPv4 is normally a paid operation. When the address comes from your own prefix it is 0.00, always.

Address management from the panel

Add an additional IP, replace a server address, release an address back into the pool — a couple of clicks, free of charge.

IPAM transparency

Every record is visible: address, status, rDNS, description and the service it belongs to. Search, filters and a forced data refresh.

Isolation and security

An address can only be issued inside your own prefix and only to your own active server. Operations are lock-protected and written to the activity log.

Process

How it works

01

Request

You tell us the prefix and the location, and confirm your rights to the block.

02

Registration

We add the prefix to IPAM and configure the announcement from the chosen location.

03

Pool activation

A BYOIP section appears in your panel with your prefix and its address map.

04

Day-to-day

New VPS take IPs from your block; you add and change addresses yourself.

Steps 1–2 are handled by our engineers; steps 3–4 are entirely under your control.

Prefixes up to /20 (4096 addresses) are expanded address by address; for larger blocks the addresses registered in IPAM are shown.

In the panel

Every address of your block at a glance

The prefix page lists addresses with their status, rDNS and linked service: search, filters and a forced read of fresh data from IPAM.

Add an additional IP
The address is allowed on the firewall right away, no reboot required. Configuration inside the OS is on your side.
Replace a server address
The network configuration is rewritten via cloud-init, the server reboots to apply it and the old address returns to the pool.
Release an address
The IP is removed from the server, deleted from IPAM and becomes free in your pool again.

An address can only be assigned to your own active VPS in the same location as the prefix.

A server’s primary address cannot be released — only replaced with another one.

Scenarios

Who it is for

BYOIP matters where the address is part of the infrastructure, not just a way to reach a server.

Migration without moving addresses

Move your infrastructure to us and keep your IPs: DNS, whitelists and partner integrations stay untouched.

Your own IP reputation

Mail and API services where the address and its history are part of the product. Your block is your reputation, not a shared one.

Resellers and LIRs

Hand out addresses to your own clients while their servers run with us, and track block utilization from a single panel.

Compliance requirements

When the address space has to be registered to your organization.

Fast growth

The pool grows with you: several prefixes per pool, several pools per account.

Pricing

One price per prefix pool

You pay for the pool as a whole, not per address: however many addresses your block holds, that is how many you use.

€25per month
per prefix pool
  • Auto-renewal from your balance or one-click manual renewal.
  • Renewing early does not burn paid days: the new term starts at the end of the current one.
  • BYOIP has an extended grace period of 7 days, and the prefix stays announced the whole time.
  • Renewal does not affect your servers: nothing restarts and the announcement is never withdrawn.
