Can I buy an IP address on the Internet?

Question

Computer networks

The point is this. We all know about the role of marketing and PR of your resource on the Internet. So, if we are promoting the site, then we indicated the domain under the video, for example, and we are satisfied. But what if we advertise or leave a link to our game server, for example? After all, you can’t get off with a domain there, and you have to specify the IP address. But then, after a year, we will have to change dedic with our game server, and its IP will change accordingly. And the one who tries to connect to it using the old IP (Which is still under that video) will be "shaved".
So, is it possible to buy an IP address as a domain, link it to a VPS / Dedik and refer to it?

Answer 1

Do you really use search?
Is it possible to buy a beautiful IP for personal use and use it instead of a domain?

Answer 2

You can buy a subnet, but you definitely can't afford it.

Answer 3

So, is it possible to buy an IP address as a domain

If you want hosting independence, buying (renting) a single address won't solve anything, but you can buy a prefix ("subnet" in jargon). The first link from Google brought me here .

After all, you can’t get off with a domain there, and you have to specify the IP address.

Why? Even if the game client does not support specifying the server by its name (url), why not think about creating some kind of wrapper ("launcher") that will allow you to do this?

Answer 4

If you are not going to change the provider and address, you can buy a dedicated static IP on your home Internet, put the server at home. IP, most likely, will be assigned to you for life, but you are limited in the width of the channel, other problems are possible - electricity bills, server noise, problems with the provider or housing and communal services - you are powerless. However, if you are in Moscow, in some new building, these risks are minimal, except for bills.
