Apply this guide to your situation
This answer covers “Decide whether your project needs a dedicated IP”. Read it with the summary and confirm that the symptom and service match what you are experiencing. Available options can vary by plan and account setup.
- Before changing anything, note what you expected, what happened and roughly when. Check whether the issue affects one page or the whole service.
- Save the full error message and note recent changes. Hide passwords, access codes, personal data and keys before sharing screenshots or logs.
- If a step requires administrator access, restarting services or editing server files, stop if you do not administer that server. Send support the service name, error and checks you have already made.

Troubleshooting & Solutions
An integration rejects connections or someone recommends an IP solely to improve search rankings.
Root cause: An access policy, DNS configuration or email reputation issue was confused with a need for an exclusive IP.
Resolution: Ask the system imposing the requirement to specify the protocol and exact condition. Fix DNS, authentication or reputation first when those are the actual cause.
Rollback and recovery plan
Before accepting an offer or migrating, keep the terms you reviewed and details of the current service. If you have already subscribed, do not cancel or change the source service until you confirm exit, refund and continuity options with the providers involved.
