What This Feature Does

A dedicated IP gives you a unique IP address for sending your emails, separate from other SendX users. With a dedicated IP, your sender reputation is completely under your control—other senders' behaviour won't affect your email deliverability.

When and Why You'd Need This

Consider getting a dedicated IP if you:

  • Send high volumes of email consistently (typically 50,000+ emails per month)

  • Have established sending patterns and good engagement rates

  • Need complete control over your sender reputation

  • Want to isolate your sending from shared IP pools

  • Are an established brand with a warm domain and consistent sending

Best practices before purchasing:

  • Verify your sending domain is properly configured in SendX

  • Have been sending emails regularly for at least 30-60 days

  • Maintain healthy engagement metrics (opens, clicks, low bounce rates)

  • Send consistent volumes rather than sporadic bursts

New senders or those with low volume should typically start on shared IPs to build reputation before transitioning to a dedicated IP.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Purchase Your Dedicated IP

  1. Click your profile icon in the navigation bar

  2. Select Settings from the drop-down menu

  3. Click Add-ons in the settings menu

  4. Choose Dedicated IP from the list

  5. Click Purchase Dedicated IP in the subscription status section

  6. Complete payment via Stripe ($300 per IP per year)

After purchase, you'll see the number of IPs allocated to your account in the subscription status section.

What Happens Next

  • SendX will allocate your dedicated IP within 24-48 hours of payment

  • You'll be notified once your IP is ready

  • SendX automatically configures everything on the backend—no technical setup needed from your side

Important Notes

  • Plan requirement: Available for paid plans only

  • Cost: $300 per IP per year, paid immediately via Stripe

  • Multiple IPs: You can purchase multiple dedicated IPs. Each IP requires a separate $300/year payment

  • Allocation period: Your dedicated IP is allocated to you for one year

  • Prerequisites: Your sending domain must be verified before purchasing

  • No IP visibility: You won't see the actual IP address in your account, but you can view sending statistics

Starting to Send on Your Dedicated IP

While you can technically start sending immediately after your IP is allocated, follow these best practices for optimal deliverability:

Warm up gradually:

  • Start with your most engaged subscribers

  • Send smaller volumes initially (a few hundred to a few thousand)

  • Gradually increase volume over 2-4 weeks

  • Monitor bounce rates and engagement closely

Maintain consistency:

  • Send regularly rather than in large, infrequent batches

  • Keep your sending volume relatively steady week-to-week

  • Avoid sudden spikes that could trigger spam filters

Watch your metrics:

  • Monitor deliverability percentages in your SendX reports

  • Track inbox placement vs. spam placement

  • Address bounces and complaints quickly

Common Questions

How long does setup take after purchase?
Your dedicated IP will be allocated within 24-48 hours of payment. You'll receive a notification when it's ready.

Can I see my assigned IP address?
No, the actual IP address isn't visible in your SendX account. SendX manages the technical details, but you can view all sending statistics and deliverability metrics.

Can I purchase multiple dedicated IPs?
Yes, there's no limit. Each dedicated IP costs $300 per year and requires a separate payment.

Will I need to configure anything technical?
No. SendX handles all technical configuration automatically once your IP is allocated.

What if I'm a new sender?
If you're new to email marketing or send low volumes, consider starting on SendX's shared IP infrastructure to build your reputation first. Dedicated IPs work best for established senders with consistent high volume.

How do I know my dedicated IP is working?
Check your campaign reports for deliverability statistics. You'll see inbox placement rates, spam placement, and other metrics that show how your emails are performing.
