Getting a dedicated IP address is easier than most people expect. You do not need to call your internet provider, lease a block of addresses, or configure anything by hand. The usual route is to add one through a service that assigns a private address to your account. The harder question is which kind of dedicated IP is worth paying for, because they are not all the same.
Read more on how you can benefit from a dedicated IP address using Speedify Dedicated Servers.
The Ways People Get a Dedicated IP
There are three realistic ways to get an internet address that is yours alone: ask your internet provider for a static one, buy a dedicated-IP add-on from a VPN, or run a private server that comes with the address and the ability to actually use it. They give you very different things. Even the terms dedicated, static and shared IP get mixed up.
Speedify is an app that combines several internet connections at once, and a Speedify Dedicated Server is that third option: your own static address, with port forwarding and reachable services behind it. Take a look at what to check before you pay for a dedicated IP, how to get one with Speedify, and what it costs. For the speed side, see how a dedicated server improves performance.
With Speedify, your internet stays on when one connection fails.
What to Check Before You Pay for a Dedicated IP
A dedicated IP that just sits there as an exit address is the most common version sold, and it is also the most limited. Before adding one, it is worth asking:
- Is the address truly dedicated, or just static? A static address shared with others does not give you a clean reputation.
- Can you forward ports? Without port forwarding, you cannot run anything that the internet needs to reach. Here is how port forwarding works on a dedicated server.
- What happens to your speed? A bare exit IP does nothing for throughput or reliability.
- Is there any uptime guarantee? Most add-ons offer none.
How to Get a Dedicated IP with Speedify
A Speedify Dedicated Server includes a static IPv4 address reserved for your account, and getting one takes a few steps:
- Get a Speedify plan: a Dedicated Server is an add-on to any paid Speedify plan, so start by downloading Speedify and subscribing.
- Add a Dedicated Server: sign in to the Speedify Account Management portal and buy it under Manage Subscription.
- Pick a location: choose from Speedify server locations across 50+ cities on six continents.
- Connect: the Speedify team provisions a private server for you, usually within a day, and it appears in the app under its own Dedicated category.
From there, Speedify combines Wi-Fi, 4G/5G cellular, Ethernet, Starlink and satellite into one connection that terminates at your private server with its static IP. You get up to 1 Gbps of throughput, 3TB of monthly bandwidth, port forwarding, and a guaranteed service level agreement that credits a day of free service for every hour of downtime. The dedicated IP comes attached to a connection that is faster, more reliable, and more secure, rather than being the whole product.
How Much a Speedify Dedicated IP Costs
A Speedify Dedicated Server is $120 billed monthly, or $900 billed yearly, on top of your Speedify plan. That is more than a bare dedicated-IP add-on, because you are getting a private server with combined connections, port forwarding, and an SLA, not just an address. Current pricing is on the Speedify store.
