Multiple IP Addresses?
Apr 15, 2008I'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?

View 13 RepliesHave 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...
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?

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?
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...
Due to some of my projects I am looking for a good Dedicated server hosting provider who can offer Muliples IP addressess from different IP Pools.

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.
Can anyone recommend a host that can host domains on multiple IPs (not neccesarily dedicated) under 1 single account.
We are already using ixwebhosting.com, but we need a lot more.
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?
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?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Can anyone recommend a hosting company that allows multiple unique class C IP's?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI'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:
ns.mydomain.com -> 1.1.1.2
ns.myseconddomain.com -> 1.1.1.3
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 two domains as virtual hosts on same IP address.
I am getting certificate error for the second domain when I try to check email (using MS Outlook). I can't permanently "accept" certificate, it complains again and again. Certuficate I created and self signed for imap.domain1.com, but the second email server is imap.domain2.com, so it complains.
How do I set separate email certificates for two domains? Is it possible at all?
Depending on where u are at on my site (documents pages, training, main root, etc.) will depend on which type of background, footer, header and the like you'll get. Now I was thinking. Is there a way to have multiple error messages for more then one page depending on where you are at on a site? Right now it's intranet site and a modded snitz forum. What is the code and were does it go and in which apache conf file(s) does it go in?
View 1 Replies View RelatedBasically, considering my host is in Europe/Malaysia, it uses APNIC for their RR, and for more IPs its $5.00 per ip/month. Which is a bit expensive for me, so I was wondering if there are people on here that sell IPs for cheap? It doesn't matter what country it comes up in with a whois lookup, or what RIR it uses, I just need more IPs for my dedicated server.
So does anyone sell? Or know where I can buy?
Our business has grown and we would like to know if it is possible to buy IPs (/18 or /19)
Anyone have any experience with this?
There's a gadget showing how quickly we are running out of IP4 addresses.
