Tempest Hosting BYOIP Integration Overview

Worth Knowing

Confirm plan eligibility before ordering. Newer indexed wording excludes Virtual Dedicated and Cost-Optimized Dedicated plans; older wording conflicts, and the help-centre pages could not be retrieved. BYOIP locations are not verified. IPv6, the public ASN, LOA, a mandatory ROA, current fees and setup time are not established.

Searching for the best IP providers? Tempest documents BGP and BYOIP onboarding by support ticket for Enterprise Dedicated servers. Current indexed guidance excludes Virtual Dedicated and Cost-Optimized Dedicated plans, but conflicting historical wording and the fact that the help-centre articles could not be opened directly mean you should confirm plan eligibility before ordering. Customers may announce their own ASN.

Very little else is published. Prefix requirements, authorisation documents, fees and setup time all need to be confirmed with Tempest before you order.

Caveats and Gotchas

Conflicting help-centre versions: the newer indexed version supports Enterprise Dedicated only and excludes Cost-Optimized Dedicated plans. An older retrieved version supported dedicated servers more broadly. The articles themselves could not be opened, so get written confirmation before you rely on either version.
Low-confidence evidence: the help centre could not be opened directly during research, so the plan wording above rests on indexed and previously retrieved copies of the article.
Older terms: the /24 minimum and the statement that own AS and IP use carries no extra charge come from a 2022 article. Reconfirm both against the current Enterprise service.
Delivery time: the ordinary server delivery estimate is not a BYOIP setup time.

Technical Requirements

Step-by-Step BYOIP Process

The documented entry point is a portal ticket. The preparation below is editorial guidance rather than a published Tempest runbook.

Step 1

Confirm the plan

identify the exact Enterprise Dedicated plan and location.

Step 2

Ask the open questions

request confirmation of prefix size, address family, origin ASN, leased-space eligibility and fees.

Step 3

Collect the paperwork

ask support which authorisation documents and routing configuration the order needs.

Step 4

Schedule activation

agree an activation window and verify routing before moving production traffic.

Withdrawal and Deprovisioning

No public BYOIP withdrawal procedure was found. Agree withdrawal timing, cancellation and removal of routing authorisations with support before moving the prefix, and do not assume cancelling a server removes every announcement straight away.

Cost and Limitations

Item	Details
Fees	Not published as current terms. A 2022 article says own AS and IP use has no additional charge; treat that as unconfirmed.
Bundled or Standalone	Tied to an eligible dedicated server.
DDoS Protection	Tempest markets always-on protection for its servers. Coverage of an imported prefix, and its limits, need confirming per order.
Other Limitations	Setup time, allocation model, BGP session parameters, maximum prefix count, anycast and multihoming are not published.

Automation & Developer Access

Portal: setup runs through a support ticket. Self-service route provisioning is not documented.
API: no BYOIP API, CLI, Terraform provider or SDK is published.
Reverse DNS: general help-centre guidance offers PTR setup by ticket once a forward A record exists. Delegation for customer space needs confirming.

Abuse & Reputation Management

Not published: blocklist monitoring, remediation duties and abuse-response commitments for imported space. Ask for the current service terms and abuse process with the order.
