Adding IP Addresses in Plesk

Introduction

If you have ordered an IP address through our Customer Center, you can add it in the Plesk Control Panel and assign it to the desired website.


Prerequisites

  • Server with Plesk Control Panel
  • Additional WAN IP address


To learn how to order additional IP addresses, see the article Order an IP Address.



Add an IP Address

To add your new IP address in the Plesk Control Panel, log in to your Plesk Control Panel. For step-by-step instructions on how to log in to the Plesk Control Panel, see Logging In to the Plesk Control Panel.


Next, navigate to Tools & Settings → IP Addresses, where you can manage IP addresses and add or remove new ones.


Next, click Reread IP so that the previously added network interface and its associated IP address are added to the Plesk Control Panel.


Please do not add an IP address manually if the additional IP address was ordered through our Customer Center and configured automatically, as this step would remove our automatically provided configuration.




Using a Shared IP Address

If you want to use the new IP address for multiple subscriptions, you must adjust the address’s allocation settings in Plesk. Click the newly added IP address and change the allocation option to Shared.



You can then configure the IP address for multiple websites.
