# Buy an additional IP address

> Order additional IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for dedicated servers and virtual private servers, with limits and transfer options.

Every dedicated server includes one free IPv4 address and one free IPv6 address. Additional IP addresses can be ordered at any time after the server is created. Up to 14 additional IPv4 and 14 additional IPv6 addresses are available for purchase.

> [!NOTE]
>
> For KVM-SSD-1 virtual private servers, the limit is 2 additional IPv4 addresses and 2 additional IPv6 addresses.

**1. Open the IP addresses list**

Navigate to the **Dedicated Servers** or **Virtual private servers** tab in the [Gcore Hosting Portal](https://hosting.gcore.com/billmgr). Select the server and click **IP addresses**.

**3. Complete the order**

Enter the number of IP addresses and complete the order.

After the order is processed, the new IP addresses appear in the IP address list. Configure them in the operating system before using them.

To configure a large number of addresses automatically, reinstall the operating system — the reinstallation process applies the full network configuration, including all assigned IP addresses.

## Transfer IP addresses

Additional IP addresses can be transferred between servers. Only additional IP addresses can be moved — the primary IP address stays associated with the server. To request a paid transfer, contact [support](/hosting/contact-our-technical-support).
