How to Add Additional IP Address

Prerequisites

Before adding an IP address, make sure you have:

• Hostxpeed account with ability to add IPs
• SSH access to your VPS
• Root or sudo privileges

Step 1: Request Additional IP via Hostxpeed Portal

Log in to your Hostxpeed client area:

1. Go to My Services → Your VPS
2. Look for Additional IPs or Network section
3. Request extra IPv4 address(es)

If not available, contact support.

Step 2: Configure IP on Ubuntu/Debian (Netplan)

Edit netplan configuration:

sudo nano /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml

Add the new IP:

network:
  version: 2
  renderer: networkd
  ethernets:
    eth0:
      addresses:
        - YOUR_MAIN_IP/22
        - NEW_IP_1/22
        - NEW_IP_2/22
      routes:
        - to: default
          via: GATEWAY_IP

Apply:

sudo netplan apply

Step 3: Configure IP on CentOS/Rocky/AlmaLinux

Edit interface file:

sudo nano /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

Add:

IPADDR2=NEW_IP_1
PREFIX2=22
IPADDR3=NEW_IP_2
PREFIX3=22

Restart network:

sudo systemctl restart network

Step 4: Verify IP is Added

ip addr show | grep NEW_IP

ping -c 3 NEW_IP

Step 5: Configure Services to Use Specific IP

For Nginx:

server {
    listen NEW_IP:80;
    server_name example.com;
}
