I have a small webstore with a SSL encryption for securing the site. But the SSL certificate is setup for the www.somethingstupidurl.com, and not just somethingstupidurl.com. The www.somethingstupidurl.com is validating well, but I get the warning of a possible "bad" site on the somethingstupidurl.com (not validating).
And I know a wildcard SSL will fix this. But I was wodering about is if I can use multiple servers with with several dedicated IPs? I have several subdomains which I would like to secure, but bying SSLs for each will be more expsensive than a wildcard. These subdomains are also located on several servers that have their own dedicated IPs, and I would like to be sure a wildcard would be the right thing to go for.
Hello guys, I have been a longtime lurker (too long ) and I look forward to becoming an active member on the site...
I am still in the process of researching a reliable web hosting company. It has been a blessing and a curse to have so many choices. I plan to host multiple ecommerce websites (5) and will need SSL encryption. I have looked at Hostgator as a possible candidate, but their business package has just one dedicated IP address...
If I am running 5 seperate ecommerce websites, will I need 5 seperate dedicated IP addresses in order to utilize SSL for each individual site? My suspicion is yes due to security purposes... Also what are good SSL certificates? RapidSSL appears to be a cheaper one, but is it the same as other certificate issuers? Or is buying certs equivalant to buying domains; just but the cheapest ones....
Thanks again guys... Just curious on what my options are. I'm "starting" out and testing the waters so to speak so a dedicated server or higher cost solution is out of the question yet. I would like to find a good quality shared server hosting plan with a reputable company who doesn't overloard servers for profit....
Any ideas what you guys would recommend with the above mentioned... ixwebhosting appears perfect for my needs due to the fact you get 8 dedicated IP's (so they say), but I have read nothing but bad things about them + the price is too good to be true...
When I hear the words "Unlimited" I want to run.. Unlimited and Cheap... LOL *rolls eyes* Want quality, fair price, for the above mentioned items...
There are lots of hosts who can give you IPs on different blocks. You should easily be able to find one hosting account that can do this. Of course, you'll need to get a low-end dedicated or colo server to do that, but the IP address thing is no big deal. With the money you would be spending, you're well within the range of a low-end dedicated anyway.
Hi Eric,
I know this thread is old BUT...
This comment interests me a lot, and I hope that somebody can clarify for me that does 50 IPs on one dedicated server require multiple routers (like 2x IPs per router?) to manage all of the IP's communicating with the dedicated server?
Is there an issuer that issues wildcard SSL certificate which can be used on multiple servers under the same domain name (like server1.domain, server2.domain, server3.domain...etc)?
Have been hosting with Site5 for the last few years, and have been very happy. I have a number of websites, it's easy for me to add another one (the domain points to a subfolder but the address acts like a 'real' domain if you type it in), they have everything I need and are cheap.
The downside is all my sites share an IP address. I'm either looking for some hosting at a few dollars a month tops (shared is fine) with PHP / MySQL, or an account that give me the ability to add as many domains as I'd like, and if necessary, give them all unique IP addresses.
Basically, I'm just looking to protect myself from anyone doing a reverse IP check on the domains. I suppose the ideal situation would be one where I could control / see stats for all my sites through one control panel, and just have the ability to buy another IP address when needed, and if I don't need to, share one IP with multiple sites...
I guess worst comes to worst, some cheap but reliable hosting (with someone that isn't going to mess me around or fold in 6 months time) where I'm going to share an IP with another few hundred sites would be acceptable...
I've never fully understood what's the need for more than one IP address? I mean, you need one to set-up the nameservers and all, but why do you need more than one?
We have about 80 sites on our server running centos with whm/cpanel. We have to IP addresses. Currently all sites are running though one IP address. Is there an advantage of splitting them up over two IP addresses?
What are the benefits of having a host provide more than 1 IP address? I'm going to jump the "shared" ship and hopping on a VPS for the first time.
I have several sites, one of which gets about 1k hits a day. The others, not so much, but it is vital that the others don't get hammered and slow down. Will having the one site with more traffic on one IP, and the others on another, insure that they won't bog down?
I had a thread about this several years ago here but it petered out without a satisfactory resolution and when I tried to restart it the Sitepoint bot suggested I start a new thread . . .
Briefly, I'm into lots of stuff - software, art, poetry, business, etc, so I want to have different email addresses for each activity but I want them all to go to the same inbox so I don't have to log into n different accounts to check my email.
My website is hosted by HostMySite but their webmail offering ("Smartermail") is lame. I don't have the option of installing a different email client (at least not for what I'm paying) but I DO have the option of routing my email to a different provider while retaining my @pnArt.com email address.
Aliases don't solve this because if someone sends email to an alias, e.g., myalias@pnart.com it goes to my root account inbox, say, myroot@pnart.com so when I hit "reply" the recipient sees the mail coming from myroot@pnart.com, not myalias@pnart.com. Furthermore, if HE replies it goes to the global "reply-to" address which is a THIRD address because I don't want the root address in general circulation, to minimize spam to my root email.
I'm getting complaints from clients and customers about this because they're not sure which email address they're expected to use.. Is there any third-party email provider that lets me have multiple aliases or identities that I can process from ONE inbox, but where the alias or identity is applied in a consistent way so my clients see just ONE email address from me?
We require a server with 10+ IP addresses (Each one with a separate OS and external IP Address, i.e myip.dk)
This is to be used as an added security level for our employees logging into our system from outside the office. Our system monitors the IP Address and we need to restrict access to certain items depending on the IP. We basically would like to set up multiple VPS on one server.
Can you confirm how this would work?I know we can buy a Windows VPS for around £15, but we need multiple of these (10-20)and figure our own server might be the way forward.
Our dedicated server runs our virtual machines for us and the NAT option is terrible...the virtual machines work REALLY well when they use a Bridged connection. The problem is that our virtual machines have to acquire an IP address somehow, and the hosting provider we currently use says they only give one IP address to our server which is fine if the NAT within the software worked really well...is there a webhost that can provide a setup where they have a router hooked to our dedicated server so if we need more local IP's they can be given/assigned by the router. This would then allow us to run our virtual machines much better. Does anybody know of a dedicated server host that will do this?
I want to host a few sites on different c class ip's, i am not a huge company, so i have a very limited budget indeed, can anyone recommend a suitable host. I would'nt need much bw or storage capacity, just basic stuff.
I'm trying to see what the most cost effective way of doing this is.
I basically want to separate our business IP and our mail IP's.
So if I'm browsing the internet I have the regular IP that Comcast sets us up with.
If I am doing any emails, basically having one computer that runs off a different IP address. So when we send emails from that computer it would have the different IP address.
I want to do it in the most safe and legal way possible.
I am setup in a co-location facility. I just recieved my new SonicWall TZ180 which I am trying to setup.
Previously I had my server connected to the internet drop via a static ip address assigned via windows tcp/ip (1.1.1.2), nothing special there. Then I used Plesk and assign domains and ip addresses as normal.
My co-location facility gives me 4 static ip addresses, lets call them:
1.1.1.2 1.1.1.3 1.1.1.4 1.1.1.5
And an ip address called Network Gateway at:
1.1.1.1
And DNS ips at:
2.2.2.2 2.2.2.3
I am trying to figure out how I make this work now with the SonicWall. I am using Plesk, and I have already assigned all DNS settings and name servers to their proper static IP address, such as:
So I cannot use the local ip address (192.168.168.2) assigned to the server box by default by SonicWall using DHCP. I must use the actual static ip addresses assigned to me and already configured in Plesk. I have heard I need to use NAT, and assign the SonicWall the ip address of the network gateway: 1.1.1.1, then add the 4 standard static ip addresses into a pool in the sonic wall.
Q: Does one need to have more than one ISP (outside) static IP address to host its own mail and web server?
Or will one static IP with port forwarding to two different machines (one mail and other web server) be good enough?
What would happen if one wants to host two websites on one machine (web server) and have webmail to access emails (presumably via port 80) on another (mail server)?
My only concern is I guess my ASA 5505 won't support more than one assigned static IP or am I wrong?
I know Hostgator has a special SEO hosting package that includes seperate ip's and such but I had a bad experience with them a couple of years back.
Can anyone that hosts multiple sites on multiple ip's (different class 'c') tell me about their hosting packages (prices, bandwidth, supports, downtime, etc...)
I am running a VPS through 123-REG, Plesk version 11.0.9 with CentOS 6.4
I host 3 websites of my own (with 14 mail accounts) 4 websites for clients (with 10 mail accounts) 7 websites for clients (with 0 mail accounts)
The problem I have had in the last 2 weeks is that the server has been compromised once again by spammers.
2 weeks ago we had another instance and the support was even worse than before, I decided that the best way forward after irradicating the problem and correcting the source, and in the interest of each of my clients I decided to asign each client with their own IP address in the vain hope that if one client account is compromised the others will not be affected, 123-REG agreed that this is a solid solution so I purchased 5 additional IP addresses for the clients I host mail accounts for, (all of the said addresses were blacklisted when I was given them!!!) the reverse DNS was not set up correctly, and couldn't be through their control panel and some didn't match the SMTP banners, then I found out through them that the mail was still sent out through the Primary IP address anyway so if one client gets blacklisted they all still do.
Now they tell me that I can in fact configure Plesk to use each IP address for each client exclusively and they sent me a link to a support article that doesn't actually tell me how to do it.
I can do the following so far:
Log into puTTY and use the command: nano /etc/postfix/master.cf
Find the "smtp" record referenced in the article [URL] 1.1.1.1- unix - n n - - smtp -o smtp_bind_address=1.1.1.1 -o smtp_bind_address6= -o smtp_address_preference=ipv4 2.2.2.2- unix - n n - - smtp -o smtp_bind_address=2.2.2.2 -o smtp_bind_address6= -o smtp_address_preference=ipv4
although mine looks like the one below: 1.1.1.1- unix - n n - - smtp -o smtp_bind_address=1.1.1.1 -o smtp_b$
Is there something missing from the entry I have?
Assuming that 1.1.1.1 = the relevant IP Address for the client do I need to create an entry for each of my IP addresses?
Do I need to do anything with SMTP banners? If so how do I do it, and what do I need to do?
The article also mentions the default settings being restored each time you reconfigure mail settings and to consider a scheduled task, does that mean each time I set up a new mail account or a new client as I assume that I will need to repeat these steps in that case anyway, mainly because they will have a unique IP address that needs to be set up.
I have 2 sites hosted on one host that ive had for about 3 weeks. One site has been around 7 months while the other site i built after i bought the new host.
Ive had reports this week that some people are finding it hard to get onto my new site, one told me today "it takes 20mins to load" and they were not exaggerating, another said 'the link is broken' after i twittered it. But when i try my site, it 100% always works and loads within 1 minute.
So would it be worth my while to buy a dedicated ip, and do i buy one from the host itself? As im unsure how it all works. Or shall i sit here and watch ppl complain on the other sites i run about how they cant access my new site
I have just purchased a dedicated server with CPanel and 6 dedicated IP addresses to host a few websites of my clients including my own website. My server is assigned the first IP address i.e. IP1.00.00.00.
I would like to have my own private name servers along with dedicated IP addresses for my own website (xyz.com) and my client website.
I purchased a domain xyz.com and created my own name servers by using the first 2 IP addresses.
Q1) Now will the first IP address (IP1.00.00.00) create any issue as it is assigned to both nameserver-1 and my own server? Or shall I change the IP address of my server to IP3.00.00.00?
Q2) I would like my own website i.e. xyz.com to have a dedicated IP address as well. So shall I use one more IP address i.e. IP4.00.00.00 for my own domain (xyz.com) or is it not required?
Q3) My client website also requires a dedicated IP address. I have sent him the nameserver details for him to point his domain at my newly created name servers i.e. Ns1.xyz.com and Ns2.xyz.com
Q4) Now shall I assign the fifth IP address i.e. IP5.00.00.00 for my client's domain? Or when his domain points to my name servers (having unique IP addresses) - another dedicated IP (IP5) is not required for his domain? Please suggest.
Now IP1 and IP2 are being used as nameservers. IP1 is associated with my server as well IP4 for my own domain xyz.com (or is it not required as IP1 is assigned to Ns1.xyz.com) IP5 for my client's website
Q5) Is the above distribution of IP addresses between name servers, my own domain and my client domain correct?
I am sorry I have little knowledge about these IP addresses and name servers.
My idea is to assign a dedicated IP address to my own website (xyz.com) and my client's website along with having 2 IPs reserved for my private name serves.
I purchased the extra "dedicated" ip address for my use. I understand it is dedicated exclusively to my accounts, but shared between each of my accounts...
The provider also provides a "shared" ip. I understand that if I did not have my own dedicated ip, then I would use this ip and it would be shared between my accounts, and among all the other accounts on his server...
My question pertains to the way WHM initializes a new account. It assigns the company shared ip to each of my new domain accounts, instead of my dedicated ip.
Pinging the newly created domain account results in seeing the company shared ip - not my dedicated ip.
Is this correct? I think WHM should be assigning my dedicated ip, and ping should show my dedicated ip.
2 ips are given when I will book a dedicated server, right? Out of the 2 ips given to me, one would point to the server. So, what is the second one for and when does it get used?
I currently have a dedicated server company which will go unnamed. I'm wanting to change to a different server, but they won't let me keep my IP addresses. Do you all think this is pretty standard across the board, or is it just the provider I'm with? I guess I should have done my homework more before signing up, but I personally find this totally inconvenient to the customer. It makes me feel as if my provider doesn't care about me.
