IP Announcement

IP Announcement Guide

At HostSailor, we’ve always prioritized your needs and satisfaction, and that’s why we’ve rolled out our IP Announcement (IPAN) service. This feature allows you to have your IP addresses announced by us, giving you access to a larger pool of IPs hosted on our rack servers. Even better, when it’s time to switch providers, you get to keep those IPs.

With our service, HostSailor will handle the advertising of your IPs using our AS number. To get started:

• The IP prefix needs to be at least a /24, and we’ll need an approved method to confirm you have permission to announce those IP ranges.
• If you’re not the owner of the IPs, no problem—we just need a signed letter of authorization from the actual owner. And don’t worry about limits on how many IP prefixes you can announce. Our IP announcement service is available for dedicated servers, colocation services, and both shared and private racks.
• Once your IPs are announced, your servers will be connected to tagged switch ports, giving you the flexibility to use those IPs however you need. Plus, our team can split subnets into smaller groups, free of charge.
