Overview

You can use the IP Addresses screen to view and assign private and public IP addresses to your virtual machines. 

Note

By default, IP addresses assigned to a virtual machine are private; however, you can request a public IP address.

Note

Armor offers one free public IP address per virtual machine. You can request additional public IP addresses for the same virtual machine at an additional cost.

Note

Additionally, there is a cost associated with a public IP address that is not assigned (routed) to a private IP address.
