Dedicated IP Guide

Overview

A dedicated IP address ensures that all your PXME emails are sent from an exclusive IP rather than a shared pool. This gives you full control over your sending reputation, deliverability, and performance.

Email service providers (Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, etc.) monitor the reputation of sending IPs. On a shared IP, your deliverability can be affected by other senders’ behavior. With a dedicated IP, your reputation is based solely on your own sending practices.

When Should You Get a Dedicated IP?

Consider a dedicated IP if:

• You send 200,000+ emails per month.

• Your contact list exceeds 100,000 records.

• Email deliverability is critical to your growth strategy.

• You want complete control over authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, SSL) and stronger protection against spoofing.

Benefits of a Dedicated IP

Enhanced Deliverability

• Faster delivery rates (providers prefer trusted dedicated IPs).

• Independent performance not impacted by other senders.

Complete Reputation Control

• Reputation is tied only to your sending practices.

• No risk from other businesses sending spammy content.

Simplified Troubleshooting

• Easier diagnosis since only your traffic flows through the IP.

Boosted Cybersecurity

• Better defense against spoofing, phishing, domain hijacking, and malware.

Best Practices for Dedicated IPs

• Warm Up Gradually – Slowly increase sending volume to build trust.

• Send Consistently – Avoid sporadic, high-volume bursts.

• Maintain Minimum Volume – At least 50,000 emails/week is recommended.

• Scale Strategically – Use one dedicated IP per 1M emails/month.

• Avoid Sudden Spikes – Ramp up steadily to prevent throttling or blacklisting.

Tip: If your volume is irregular, a shared IP may perform better, since consistent traffic from other senders helps stabilize reputation.

How to Set Up a Dedicated IP in PXME

4. After purchase, assign the IP to your domain:

   • Click the three dots next to the new IP.
