Jul 1, 2026 — Reserved public IPv4 addresses

The reserved IP feature is now available for Linode and NodeBalancer IPs, allowing you to reserve individual public IPv4 addresses within a specific region.

Reserved IP addresses offer a persistent, static public IPv4 entry point for your Linodes and NodeBalancers. Unlike ephemeral IPs, which the network assigns and recycles automatically, a reserved IP stays linked to your account until you release it. Because a reserved IP is bound to a specific datacenter's network infrastructure, it can't be moved across regions; however, it provides a permanent anchor for any cloud resources inside that same location.
