It is quite possible that after you purchase your Dedicated Server, you or your clients will need more IP Addresses. You can easily purchase an addon IP Address from your Dedicated Server's billing account. We will now take a look at how to actually add an IP Address to the Dedicated Machine.

For cPanel:

You can add the IP Address by logging into your Dedicated Server's WHM and going to

WHM > IP Functions >> Add a New IP Address

When adding multiple IP addresses, you must use the Class C CIDR format or the 192.168.0.1-254 format. Valid Examples: 192.168.4.128/25, 192.168.3.5-10, 192.168.99.55-230

For DirectAdmin:

You can add the new IP Address by logging into DirectAdmin at the Admin Level and going to

Direct Admin > Admin Tools >> IP Management

For WHCP:

You will have to purchase the IP Address from the "Add Services/Upgrades" section of your Control Panel and then go to Site Management >> Dedicated IP Addresses to request the IP Address. You can assign a site to it by going to the Site Management >> Subdomain Manager section.

No Control Panel:
