Telekom: Change IP address - how it works
Telekom can change your IP address if either your home or company network needs a new address or if your website should have a different IP while the domain remains the same. In both cases you have to proceed differently.
How to change your IP address at Telekom
If you have a normal Internet connection at Telekom, switch your modem off for a few seconds to get a new IP address assigned. There are also other, more elegant ways to change your IP address. However, if you want to change the IP address of your website, the way is a little more complex:
- For example, if you have a web host, cloud server or website at Telekom, it usually has a static IP address.
- With static IPs, name servers know which IP address you want to call up when you enter a web address in your browser.
- This static IP address must therefore always remain the same and cannot be changed by yourself. In this case, contact the Telekom customer center.
We will explain how to determine your IP address and change the static IP on your intranet in further practical tips.
