For this reason, in order to assist WHM root users with changing the IP address of their website, we have produced this guide.

To Change IP Address of a Site

1. Log in to your root account of WHM.

2. Select the Account Functions option from the navigation menu.

3. Click on Change Site’s IP Address.

The Change Site’s IP Address panel will open, where you will find details like the Current Address and Current Sub/Parked Domains.

That’s all you need to change the IP address of a site on your WHM server.

That’s why we suggest you change the IP address at a time when your website’s traffic is the lowest.

Pro Tip #2
