Floating IPs

Hetzner’s Floating IPs provide re-assignable IPv4 and IPv6 addresses specifically for failover setups across cloud servers within a single location. This networking feature lets you move an IP address between instances if one server goes down, ensuring continuous connectivity for your applications without needing to update DNS records manually during an outage.

It suits teams running high-availability workloads in Hetzner’s data centers who need rapid recovery options. The main trade-off is the lack of a free tier; you pay on a pay-as-you-go basis for every assigned address. This means even temporary test environments or low-traffic setups incur costs, so budget accordingly if you plan to keep multiple IPs active simultaneously.
