Configure an Additional IP Address

This guide shows how to configure an additional IP address ordered in the PowerPanel on your server under Windows Server, Debian, Ubuntu, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux or in Plesk. The address only becomes active after this step.

How routed IPs work: Additional IP addresses are routed through your server's main IP address and share the same gateway. You must not configure a separate gateway for an additional IP — doing so will cause network conflicts and may take your server offline.

Configuration by Operating System

Select your operating system or control panel below for the appropriate configuration steps.

Choose Your System

On Windows Server, additional IP addresses are added through the advanced properties of your network adapter.

1.Open the Network Connections window — press Win + R, type ncpa.cpl, and press Enter

2.Right-click your main network adapter (usually named Ethernet) and select Properties

3.Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click Properties

4.Click Advanced...

5.In the IP Addresses section, click Add...

6.Enter your additional IP address and the correct subnet mask, then click Add

7.Click OK on all subsequent windows to apply the changes

Do not add a gateway in the Advanced settings. The additional IP will automatically use the main gateway already configured for your server.
