How much does a static IP cost?

From an ISP, a static IP is a monthly add-on, usually to a business plan. T-Mobile Business: ~$15/mo (third-party reports). GetAStatic is a WireGuard VPN with your own dedicated static IPv4 and open ports from $2/mo, on any home, mobile or satellite connection.

AT&T static IP~$15/mo for 8 IPs (third-party reports); business plans and some fiber plans, not Internet Air
Starlink Public IPincluded with Priority plans, which start at $55/mo (Local Priority, 50 GB); public, but not truly static

Checked . ISP and VPN figures are add-ons on top of an internet plan or a VPN subscription. The Starlink figure is the Priority plan itself; the public IP comes with it. Figures marked "third-party reports" are not on the vendor's own site.

The problem

Why a static IP from your ISP costs so much

Most home internet plans do not sell a static IP at all. US cable, fiber and 5G providers offer one mainly on business plans, as a monthly add-on. So the real cost is the add-on plus the business plan, which often costs more than the home plan it replaces and may come with a contract.

Many connections cannot get one at any price. T-Mobile 5G Home Internet and Starlink residential plans put customers behind CGNAT, where many homes share one address, and users report the same on Verizon 5G Home and AT&T Internet Air. Starlink sells a public IP only with its Priority plans, and says it is not truly static: it can change after a move or a software update.

What a static IP buys you: an address that does not change, so allowlists, bank logins and remote access keep working, and a public address that people can reach on the ports you open. It does not make your internet faster.

How it works

A static IP you take to any connection

GetAStatic is a WireGuard VPN that exits from your own dedicated static IPv4 in Kansas City, Missouri or San Jose, California. You keep your current internet plan. Your device or router dials out to our node, and the internet sees your static IP: the same address on home Wi-Fi, mobile data, Starlink or a hotel network.

Ports start closed. Open the ones you need in the dashboard: 5 open ports on Plus, unlimited open ports on Pro and Ultra. If you only need a fixed address for logins or allowlists, leave them all closed.

Compared with an ISP add-on, you pay for the IP, not a business plan around it. Compared with a VPN dedicated-IP add-on, the VPN is in the price and you can open inbound ports. See how other WireGuard static-IP services compare and a static IP without business internet.

Setup

Get your static IP in a few minutes

  1. Choose a plan and sign up. Your new IP shows in the dashboard.
  2. Install the WireGuard app on your device, or set up WireGuard on your router to cover the whole network.
  3. Import the config (on a phone, scan the QR code) and turn the tunnel on.
  4. Open a what-is-my-IP site. It should show your new static IP.
  5. Open inbound ports in the dashboard only if you host something.
Good to know

Good to know

  • It is a datacenter IP in Kansas City, Missouri or San Jose, California, not a home IP from your ISP. Most sites accept it; a few strict fraud systems treat datacenter IPs more carefully.
  • Traffic goes through Kansas City, Missouri or San Jose, California. If you are far from the IP's city, expect added delay.
  • Speed is capped by plan: 20 Mbps on Plus, 100 Mbps on Pro, 1 Gbps on Ultra.
  • Each IP is one WireGuard config, active on one device at a time. Run it on a router and every device behind it shares the IP; the plan card's device figure is a guide, not a cap. Pro includes 2 IPs, and an extra IP is $2/mo.
  • It is built for a stable address, not anonymity.
FAQ

Questions, answered.

01Is a static IP a one-time purchase?

Almost never. ISPs and VPNs rent a static IP by the month. To own addresses outright, you must buy a block of at least 256 (a /24, the smallest block most networks route) and run your own network to announce it. With GetAStatic you pay by the month or by the year (2 months free). You can pay once without auto-renew, by card or crypto.

02Can I buy an IP and keep it forever?

You keep it for as long as your plan is active. It is assigned to you alone and does not rotate. If a payment fails, the tunnel keeps working for a 5-day grace period, then pauses, and we hold the IP for at least 30 days. If you cancel, the IP is released at the end of the paid period and can go to a new customer.

03Is it a home (residential) IP?

No. It is a datacenter IP in Kansas City, Missouri or San Jose, California. Most banks, apps and allowlists accept it like any US address, but a site that refuses all hosting ranges will refuse it too. Only you use it.

04Is a dedicated IP the same as a static IP?

Not always. A static IP does not change. A dedicated IP is used by you alone. A shared VPN IP is neither, and a Starlink public IP is dedicated but can change. Ours is both static and dedicated.

05Why does my ISP charge so much for a static IP?

Public IPv4 addresses are scarce, so ISPs keep static ones for business plans, which cost more and come with business terms. Many home connections, including most 5G home internet and Starlink residential plans, use CGNAT and cannot get one at all.
