Setting a domain to use a dedicated IP address in Plesk

If you are installing an SSL cert on a domain within Plesk you will first need to set the domain to use a dedicated or exclusive IP address.

With our VPS packages you can add up to 2 seperate IP addresses and if you haven't done so already you can add another IP address to your VPS in the main control panel under:

Plesk VPS management >> IP Addresses


Once the second IP address is added you can then log in to the Plesk control panel and go to:
Server >> IP Addresses >> *the second IP address*

and change the IP address from Shared to Exclusive and click 'Ok'.


To assign the domain to this exlcusive IP address and thus assign your SSL cert to it go to:
Domains >> *domainname* >> Setup

You can pick the second, dedicated IP address from the "IP Addresses" drop down menu and then a new drop down menu should appear for your "Certificate".
