How to Assign a Dedicated IP Address

To assign a dedicated IP address to a customer in WHM for reseller hosting, follow the steps below:

Log into your cPanel account. For step-by-step instructions on accessing cPanel from WHM, check out Resellers: Where to Log in to Your Account.
Under the Reseller section or tab in cPanel, click on Dedicated IP Manager.
- If you have any available Dedicated IP addresses available, you can assign them here based on the username of your customer's account.

Note: Once assigned, there is a propagation time for the IP address, which relates to the time needed for these updates to show across the web. The standard propagation time for changing an IP address is 6 to 8 hours, and the website can go down.
