If you're looking to expand your online presence or require multiple IP addresses for technical reasons, requesting an additional IP address for your Tilaa server is a straightforward process. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to request an extra IP address and provide important information to keep in mind.
Step 1: Select the Correct Option
To begin, navigate to the relevant section of your Tilaa account and select the "Request IP address" option. This will initiate the process of requesting an additional IP address for your server.
Step 2: Choose Your IP Address Type
Next, you'll need to choose the type of IP address you want to request. In this case, select IPv4 as the type of IP address. Please note that due to the global IPv4 shortage, you may be required to provide a valid technical explanation if you're requesting multiple IP addresses.
Step 3: Review and Confirm
Before submitting your request, review the details to ensure everything is correct. Don't forget to check the box at the bottom of the form to confirm that you're aware of any additional monthly charges associated with the extra IP address.
Important Considerations
It's essential to be aware of the following points when requesting an additional IP address:
- IPv4 Shortage: The internet is currently facing a shortage of IPv4 addresses. As a result, providing a valid technical explanation may be necessary if you're requesting multiple IPv4 addresses.
- Static IP Address: With Tilaa, you can rest assured that your IP address will always be static. This means it won't change over time, and you won't need to update your domain names to point to a new IP address.
The Benefits of a Static IP Address
Having a static IP address provides several advantages, including:
- No Need to Update Domain Names: With a static IP address, you don't have to worry about updating your domain names to point to a new IP address.
- Simplified Server Management: A static IP address makes it easier to manage your server and ensures that you can always access it using the same IP address.
By following these steps and considering the important points outlined above, you can easily request an additional IP address for your Tilaa server and expand your online presence. If you have any further questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to our support team for assistance.
