How to add an additional IP on your Windows server

  • Worldstream
  • Windows

In this article we will explain how you can add a second IP address to your Windows server. In this example we used a Windows 2019 server. Adding an IP on other versions differs slightly. But you should still be able to follow this tutorial.

Before you can add an extra IP to your server you will need to have one assigned to your server package. In case you require an extra IP please send us an email.

  8. Now you can assign an extra IP and the subnet mask. The subnet mask will be 255.255.255.0 if the added IP is from Worldstream.
  9. To save the settings click OK on all screens that were opened during these steps. You now have successfully configured your second IP.
