Equinix IP address expiring for 4-year old sites

July 21, 2025

As part of our infrastructure improvements, we’re updating certain IP addresses for older sites.

Some sites that have been live on Netlify for over 4 years will need to update their DNS by August 31, 2025 to avoid going offline.

Who is impacted

Your site may be using the outdated Equinix IP address 147.75.40.150, if your site meets the following criteria:

  • Your site has been live since around March 25, 2021
  • Your site is using our Standard Edge CDN
  • You are on a free, starter, or Pro account

To check whether your site is impacted you can:

  • Enter your site domain on this DNS lookup site to see if your domain points to 147.75.40.150: https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/dig/
  • Alternatively, you can run the dig command in your terminal with your site domain, such as dig mytestsite.com (using mytestsite.com and not www.mytestsite.com because this is an apex domain)

Action required

To avoid downtime by August 31, 2025, take the following actions.

Standard action for most plans

Only Enterprise plans can have High-Performance Edge. If you do not have an Enterprise plan or have an Enterprise plan without High-Performance Edge:

  1. Update the DNS record for your apex domain from the previous load balancer IP address 147.75.40.150 to the following:

    • If your external DNS provider supports ALIAS, ANAME, or flattened CNAME records, update your site’s IP address from 147.75.40.150 to apex-loadbalancer.netlify.com. If your site is on the High-Performance Edge, point the record to the High-Performance Edge load balancer noted in the Netlifly domains dashboard when you select Awaiting External DNS. You can reach out to Support or your Account manager for help.

    • If your DNS provider does not support ALIAS, ANAME, or flattened CNAME records, update your site’s IP address from 147.75.40.150 to 75.2.60.5.

The exact way you update this will vary depending on your external DNS provider but here are some generalized docs for configuring an apex domain that you can use. For the most specific instructions, check your external DNS provider’s docs or support.

Action for Enterprise plans with High-Performance Edge

Only Enterprise plans can have High-Performance Edge. If you have an Enterprise plan with High-Performance Edge, follow these steps:

  1. Update the DNS record for your apex domain from the previous load balancer IP address 147.75.40.150 to the following:
    • If your external DNS provider supports ALIAS, ANAME, or flattened CNAME records, update your site’s IP address from 147.75.40.150 to your High-Performance Edge load balancer. You can ask your Account Manager for this information or check your Netlify domains dashboard for this information.
    • If your DNS provider does not support ALIAS, ANAME, or flattened CNAME records, update your site’s IP address from 147.75.40.150 to 75.2.60.5.

The exact way you update this will vary depending on your external DNS provider but here are some generalized docs for configuring an apex domain that you can use. For the most specific instructions, check your external DNS provider’s docs or support.

Why is this happening?

To improve our infrastructure and performance, we are updating certain IP addresses for older sites. These changes help ensure your sites and apps can fully benefit from Netlify’s Edge network and our improved load balancing infrastructure.
