IP and email marketing
IP is a unique identifier that helps a recipient's ISP (Inbox Service Provider) identify you as an email sender. Your email sending practices build your IP's reputation. This, in turn, determines your placement (deliverability) in the contact's inbox.
Email Service Providers like us usually allocate shared IP addresses where a pool of users use a particular IP address. In such an environment, one user's sub-standard practices can affect the deliverability of other users along with the reputation of the IP. If you want total control over your IP address and your deliverability, you can consider opting for a dedicated IP provided you fulfill the requisite sending volume.
What is a dedicated IP?
A dedicated IP address is one that is provided exclusively to you by your email service provider. Unlike shared IP addresses, dedicated IP addresses aren't shared by different senders, allowing you to control the reputation of your IP address completely.

When would you need a dedicated IP?
The best reasons for choosing a dedicated IP include when you're sending more than 100,000 emails per month or 50,000 per week and requiring complete control of the sending IP. If yours is an enterprise-level brand with sufficient email volume and a need for an optimum open rate, you should consider opting for one. This will give you complete control over your reputation, provided you warm up your IP properly and adhere to proper practices.
Requirements for a successful dedicated IP address
While the rewards of having a dedicated IP are great for the companies that need it, the process comes with a little extra work in order to ensure you get the most out of this route. In particular, you'll want to make sure your IP is both whitelisted and warmed up.
Whitelisting
High-volume senders opting for a dedicated IP should always get their domain whitelisted. B2B email marketing only accommodates emails from safe IPs in the recipient's inbox.
IP warm-up
As a new user of a dedicated IP, you'll need to establish yourself as a high-volume email sender by gradually sending out emails in batches to warm up your IP. You can read here to learn more on warming up a dedicated IP address.
Differences between a dedicated IP and a shared IP
Dedicated IP
- Email deliverability depends on the one sole owner
- IP warm-up is required as there is only one sender
- Easier to troubleshoot any IP-related issue
Shared IP
- Email deliverability depends on the best practices of all the users
- No IP warm-up is needed
- Troubleshooting IP-related issues may take some time
Pricing
A dedicated IP costs $30 per month, billed annually.
Note: It's available only on an annual basis for the Standard and Professional plans.
Monitoring
Upon providing you the dedicated IP, we will also suggest you warm up your IP until you achieve a good reputation among the recipient ISPs. Our Deliverability team will constantly monitor your IP reputation and will inform you if there's a problem.
