There are some tutorials below, will it working for parked domain, or only for addon & subdomain?

http://www.prajith.in/how-to-assign-a-dedicated-ip-to-a-sub-domain-or-add-onpark-domain/
http://thelinuxfaq.com/183-assign-dedicated-ip-to-subdomain-parked-domain-addon-domain-in-whm

there is also a thread asking this in 2008 https://forums.cpanel.net/threads/parked-domain-on-different-ip-address.93537/#post-424165 :
The main domain does have its own IP Address, but I need the domain that is parked on the main domain to also have its own IP Address. So for a example:

Main Domain: brad.com
Main IP: 64.64.64.64
Parked Domain: steph.com
Parked IP: 64.64.64.64

Needs to be

Main Domain: brad.com
Main IP: 64.64.64.64
Parked Domain: steph.com
Parked IP: 35.35.35.35

its says not possible that time, is it already possible right now? i need it if possible

Short answer: no — a true “parked” domain (cPanel’s Alias) cannot be given its own dedicated IP via cPanel/WHM because it shares the same Apache virtual host as the primary domain. That sharing is why you also cannot install a different SSL for a parked/alias without converting it: parked domains are ServerAlias entries, not independent vhosts. (support.cpanel.net)

Practical routes that work instead:

  • Convert the parked/alias to an Addon domain (or create a separate cPanel account). Addon domains get their own virtual host, so you can host them on a different IP or install a different certificate while still pointing the document root at the same content if you want. (support.cpanel.net)
  • Once the domain is a separate vhost (addon or its own account), use WHM’s Change Site’s IP Address / Assign Dedicated IP workflow to place it on a dedicated IP. Back up first. (support.cpanel.net)

Important cautions and hints:

  • If you simply change the parked domain’s DNS to point at another IP, that other IP must have a webserver/vhost configured to serve the site — DNS alone won’t magically attach the parked config to a new IP. (docs.cpanel.net)
  • WHM’s IP-change tools can overwrite zone A records that were deliberately set to external IPs — check and back up zones before running Change Site’s IP Address. (support.cpanel.net)
  • Avoid hand-editing httpd.conf; use cPanel’s Include mechanisms or userdata includes if you must add custom vhost directives (but that’s more complex and fragile than converting to an addon account). SNI is supported on modern cPanel servers, so a separate IP for HTTPS is often unnecessary unless you have legacy requirements. (docs.cpanel.net)

Suggested minimal workflow

  1. Backup the cPanel account.
  2. Remove the parked/alias and re-create it as an Addon domain (set its document root to public_html if you want identical content). (support.cpanel.net)
  3. In WHM (root), assign the desired dedicated IP to that site/account. (support.cpanel.net)

Notes: — the tutorials you found are attempts at workarounds; the reliable, supported method is convert-to-addon or separate-account as outlined above. — registrar/DNS matters matter only for where the domain resolves; the IP allocation itself is a server/WHM action.

Have you communicated with your domain registrar about this?

its nothing to do with domain registrar, only in server/cpanel
