Need additional IP addresses

Nice Features.

i also need a separate IP address for my website. because it's better for email and websites.

Such important websites that require a dedicated IP address should be hosted on their own servers. In that way they will also have the dedicated IP :)

Yes, you are right. Sometimes my server IP address is blacklisted. it seems time to whitelist again. that's why I need a separate IP address for our special clients. when our Mian IP address will be blacklisted then our special clients are not affected.

When you have a physical server with several ips you really need this feature.

Agreed, it is standard practice to provide one free address per server, and then allow additional IP addresses to be purchased.  Whether a website uses a dedicated or shared IP address is believed to be one of Google's site ranking factors, and a dedicated IP address also protects a website owner against being blacklisted by other websites that share that address.

I have used various hosts over the past 25 years, and all of them have offered additional IP addresses.  So it was quite a shock to me to find that not only does ScalaHosting not

have this facility, but it it is also not IPv6-ready.

Please prioritize this feature!

Please prioritize it!

Please take it into consideration. As a reseller I want to offer the possibility to customers to have a dedicated ip for their shared hosting.

Thank you.

I need the ability to add at least a second IP address to achieve a failover solution at my ISP.

@ Vlad, we are still waiting for this feature.

Companies selling IP addresses is one of the reasons why IPv4 is currently exhausted. There is no practical reason to have more than 1 IPv4 address on a single web server because you can host as many websites as you want using 1 IP address. That's why we do not plan on developing such functionality.

If a website is important e.g. an ecommerce store or any company website then it should be hosted on its own server which will naturally include a dedicated IP address.

It is a very important demand for clients.

In fact we have more than 1000 clients, more than 90 of them have dedicated IPs on their cPanel accounts, migrating them with sahred IPs will make a big issue.

this feature is really important 

Vlad, what you are saying may seem logical to you, but you've got a lot of people saying they want something else, and you've got an entire industry offering this feature that you say is unimportant. If it were truly unimportant, the feature would not be offered.

Further, why would anybody care that IPv4 became an exhausted resource? That's why IPv6 was built. Nobody is being wasteful by wanting dedicated IPs. There's a valid SEO argument to be made for their use.

Lastly, what you're saying about setting up a separate server if the website is so important does not seem like a wise use of resources to me. If I have an ecommerce client who wants a dedicated IP, it does not also follow that I should spin up a new VPS just to host them. I can simply allocate additional resources to the existing VPS, keep my infrastructure clean, and not waste resources.

Dedicated IPs are a perfectly valid thing to ask for. It never looks good when a company is telling its customers that what they want is wrong.

Hello, Deep Roots Marketing!

I appreciate your detailed feedback and understand where you're coming from. There's definitely a market for dedicated IPs, and you are right — many providers offer them freely. But we believe there's a growing responsibility in how infrastructure providers operate, especially when it comes to IP allocation.

The issue isn’t whether a feature is popular — many things can be popular and still ethically questionable. Organizations like ARIN and RIPE have made it clear that IP addresses should be allocated based on justified technical need, not simply preference or speculative SEO benefits. Offering dedicated IPs solely for non-technical reasons, especially at scale, contributes to IP space misuse, which ultimately affects the entire ecosystem.

We designed SPanel to follow best practices, not to chase demand at the cost of compliance or long-term sustainability. Our stance isn’t about telling customers they're wrong — it is about drawing a clear ethical line. We are transparent that we won’t support practices that we believe help perpetuate resource waste, black-hat SEO strategies, or policy violations.

IPv6 is indeed the future, but the transition is still ongoing, and the scarcity of IPv4 is a real-world problem today — not just a technicality. We want to do our part to use what's left responsibly.

At the end of the day, we may not be the right fit for everyone, and that’s okay. Our goal is to support growth, but not at the cost of integrity or compliance.

What we will do if the ip address of our server blacklistedas right now we only have 1 ip option per server and all the data of our client's websites will be gone?

We have to install spanel on a new server to start from scratch?

Please Guide

Hello, Abdul!

That is a valid concern for sure!

If the IP address gets blacklisted the first step would be to find out if there is any spamming going on on the server and take the necessary actions to stop it.

Once the step above is completed you should contact the blacklist in question to get the IP unblocked. That usually takes 24-72 hours in most cases.

If you got a license with full server management included, we'd do it for you.

If you wanted to be able to switch immediately the email sending to a new IP address, you may manually edit /etc/exim.conf and make the necessary changes. If you want to be able to do so via the SPanel graphic interface then I recommend submitting a new feature request for that.

I hope I covered all of possible scenarios, Abdul.

Your comments make it clear you don't have a deep understanding of the markets you want to serve. A VERY common scenario, and date I say best practice, is to separate mail and web traffic. Rather than waste resources (power, etc.) on another VPS, you simply need another IP (one for web, and one for mail). This is just one example of a valid reason to support this request.  You are saying that you don't want to support it because of IPv4 exhaustion, but spinning up another VPS gets you another IPv4 address, so the result is the same, but with more power consumption, heat, water use, etc. Plesk is raising its rates again starting in January, so I'll be switching platforms. Choosing such a strange hill to die on makes this product one that will be off our list of possibilities.

Hello, Tim!

Thanks for your input!

I'd like to note that SPanel is not blocking you in any way to achieve what you described.

You may still add a second IP address to the server and use it for sending out emails. If you are not sure how to configure that, we can help.

If you want me to help you personally, please email me at vlad@spanel.io.

Thanks, Tim!
