How Are TCP Addresses Assigned?

You can create TCP Addresses in the dashboard or via the API. The following limitations apply:

  • When you create a TCP Address, the hostname and port are randomly assigned. Both are permanent.
    • You may not choose the hostname or port.
  • If you delete a TCP Address, there is no way to provision the same one again.
  • TCP Addresses may be managed via the dashboard or API.
  • The port of your TCP Address is uniquely assigned to your account, but other ports on that same hostname may be assigned to other accounts.
  • While the hostname and port of a TCP Address is fixed, they do not have static IPs.
