Hetzner

Primary IPs

Hetzner Primary IPs are dedicated public IPv4 or IPv6 addresses that remain active regardless of server lifecycle changes. This networking service allows administrators to assign persistent public connectivity to virtual machines or bare metal instances without losing the IP address during reboots, migrations, or hardware replacements. It serves as a stable network identity for infrastructure components that require consistent external accessibility.

Choose this solution when you need reliable, long-term public IP assignments that outlive individual server instances. Be aware that there is no free tier available for these resources, meaning you will incur costs immediately upon allocation. The pricing model operates on a pay-as-you-go basis, so expenses accumulate based on usage duration rather than a fixed monthly subscription fee.
