Dedicated IPs

Your email. Your IP reputation.

Use dedicated sending IPs and pools to manage the reputation of your email streams. Bird provides warmup and routing controls; your team still needs consistent volume, authenticated domains and healthy audiences. Review the requirements before moving traffic onto a dedicated pool.

Dedicated IPs require Growth. Review your plan and sending volume before setting up warmup.

Conceptual warmup curve, not a volume target. Your sending history and audience quality matter.

Dedicated when you need it, shared until you do.

Dedicated IPs are part of the Bird Email API: lower-volume senders stay on Bird's managed shared pool, and move to dedicated IPs when their volume justifies owning a reputation. Emma uses high-volume dedicated sending to grow its email program efficiently.

Five things you don't manage by hand.

Provisioning, warmup, and routing, handled.

  1. 01

    Provisioned per account.

    Request up to five dedicated IPs on the Growth plan, and Bird assigns them to your account.

  2. 02

    Warmed automatically.

    Bird ramps a new IP over roughly 30 days, so you build reputation without scheduling the warmup yourself.

  3. 03

    IP pools you control.

    Group IPs into pools and route traffic by type: transactional on one pool, marketing on another.

  4. 04

    Shared pool when you don't need them.

    Lower-volume senders stay on Bird's managed shared IPs and move to dedicated only when volume justifies it.

  5. 05

    Priced simply.

    A flat monthly price per dedicated IP on Growth, up to five, shown on the email pricing page. No setup fee, no annual commit.

See every IP and where it stands.

Provision, pool, and inspect dedicated IPs from the dashboard, the API, or the CLI. Each IP reports its warmup progress and the pool it belongs to, so you always know what's carrying your mail.

Warmed automatically, with no volume cliff.

A new dedicated IP starts at 0% warmup and ramps to 100% over roughly 30 days. While it's warming, anything beyond what it can safely carry overflows through the shared pool, so you never drop volume waiting for an IP to mature. Once it's warm it flips to active and takes your full traffic, on a reputation that's yours alone.

Questions about dedicated IPs

When should I move to a dedicated IP, and do I have to warm it myself?
Consider a dedicated IP when you send consistent volume and need control over your own IP reputation. A low-volume or irregular sender may be better served by the shared pool. Bird warms a new dedicated IP automatically over roughly 30 days, with overflow routed through shared infrastructure during the ramp. Review your sending pattern with an email specialist before choosing.
Can I separate transactional and marketing traffic?
Yes. Group IPs into pools and route each traffic type to its own pool. This separates the IPs carrying your campaign and transactional streams. Authentication, domain reputation and recipient engagement still matter for both.

Give your sending traffic its own IPs.

Review the Growth plan, provision your dedicated IPs and prepare a consistent sending schedule for warmup.

Dedicated IPs require Growth. Review your plan and sending volume before setting up warmup.
