What are IP services

Public and Private Addressing for Every Layer of Infrastructure

IP services provide public or private addressing for servers, networks and applications, so infrastructure can communicate both internally and externally.

For enterprise environments, IP planning covers IPv4, IPv6, subnet allocation, private addressing, routing policy and BGP integration, designed together rather than assigned one address at a time.

  • Address

    Assign public or private IP resources to infrastructure

  • Subnet

    Structure address space around server and network needs

  • Route

    Connect address space to the right network paths

  • Scale

    Expand addressing as infrastructure grows

IP architectureIP allocation of IPv4, IPv6 and subnets flows through routing (static, routed or BGP) and the firewall and DDoS security layer to the server network.

IP services insights

Enterprise IP Architecture: Addressing, Subnetting and Routing

An overview for IT and network teams planning address space: how public and private addressing are divided, how subnets are sized and how routing models affect IP design.

Public and private addressing

A well-structured IP architecture separates systems that must be reachable from the internet from systems that should only communicate internally. Public addresses are reserved for internet-facing services, while internal infrastructure uses private address space.

Public IPPrivate IP
PurposeInternet-facing servicesInternal infrastructure
Typical systemsWebsites, APIs, VPN endpoints, mail serversDatabases, storage, management and backup networks
Internet reachableYes, subject to firewall policyNo
Address spaceAllocated public IPv4 / IPv6RFC1918 ranges

Subnet sizing

IP blocks are expressed in CIDR notation, where the prefix length determines the number of addresses. Choosing the right size avoids both wasted address space and early re-numbering.

PrefixTotal addressesTypical fit
/321A single server address
/298A small group of services
/2816Multiple servers or services
/2732Larger server deployments
/2664Hosting and multi-service platforms
/24256Network-scale and BGP deployments

The number of usable addresses depends on the routing model: on a traditional subnet, network, broadcast and gateway addresses are reserved, while a routed subnet can make more of the block usable.

Routing models

Static addressing assigns IPs directly to a server interface and suits simple deployments. Routed subnets deliver an IP block to a server or router, which then manages the addresses within it, a common choice for virtualisation hosts and network appliances. BGP routing announces address space through the Border Gateway Protocol, giving greater control over how traffic reaches your network.

HostGraber determines the routing model during design, based on server count, services and growth plans. Learn more about BGP connectivity.

Planning for IPv6

IPv4 address space is limited, and IPv6 adoption continues to grow. Running IPv4 and IPv6 together, commonly called dual stack, allows services to remain reachable over IPv4 while becoming available to IPv6 networks.

Including IPv6 in the initial address plan is simpler than retrofitting it later. IPv6 can be incorporated into supported dedicated server, colocation and enterprise network environments.

Preparing an IP request

IP resources are allocated according to technical requirements and availability. The following details help our network team review your request efficiently:

  • Infrastructure type and number of servers
  • Number of IPs required and the intended use of each
  • IPv4, IPv6 or both
  • Preferred subnet size or routing model, if known
  • Existing ASN or IP space, if you plan to use BGP

Share these details through the IP services request form and our team will recommend an appropriate IP architecture.
