Requesting Additional IP Addresses (IPv4 & IPv6)

Every Tilaa VPS comes with one IPv4 address and a /64 IPv6 subnet by default. If your project requires additional addresses (e.g., for running nameservers, mail servers, or VPNs), you can request them via the dashboard.

1. Requesting IPv4 Addresses

Due to the global exhaustion of IPv4 addresses, strict rules apply to allocating new ones.

RIPE Justification Required:
We adhere to RIPE NCC policies. You must provide a valid technical reason for needing an extra IPv4 address.

Note: "SEO improvement" or "SSL certificates" (since SNI exists) are generally not accepted as valid reasons by RIPE.

To request an extra IPv4:

  1. Log in to the MyTilaa Dashboard.
  2. Go to the VPS overview and select your server.
  3. Navigate to the Network tab.
  4. Click Request IP address.
  5. Select IPv4, fill in your technical justification, and accept the monthly costs.

2. Requesting IPv6 Subnets

Tilaa fully supports the modern internet. You can request additional IPv6 subnets without the strict justification required for IPv4.

  • Follow the same steps as above, but select IPv6.
  • You can typically request larger blocks (e.g., for Docker or Kubernetes networking).

3. Post-Request Configuration

Once your request is approved and the IP is visible in your dashboard, it is routed to your server. However, it will not work instantly.

Manual Configuration Required:
Your OS does not automatically know about the new IP. You must manually add the IP as an alias to your network interface configuration.
  • Debian/Ubuntu: Edit /etc/netplan/.
  • CentOS/AlmaLinux: Edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ or use nmcli.
  • Windows: Add the IP via the Network Adapter properties (TCP/IPv4 settings).
