View Full Version : WHM/CPanel - multiple shared IPs

How can this be done? I have multiple IPs. It seems kind of silly to only be able to share one of those IPs. I know it can be done, but how? I want to spread all my sites over my full ip range.

You can set an account as reseller, deleguate a shared IP for that reseller and move the ownership of other accounts under that reseller's username.

Hope that helps.

interesting dilemma after doing this

all the accounts under the reseller account resolve to the main account...

I've searched all over the cpanel forums and found many people with this issue, but no solutions...

any ideas?

It resolves to root account or reseller main account, please specify ? Also, did you assign a shared IP for that reseller main account ?

it resolves to the resellers main account... and yes the resellers account has a shared ip assigned...

you can "Change Ownership of an account" as root or as this reseller account. Shared IP of the account will be changed also.

Is it what you are looking to do ?

lol you need 24-48 hrs for propagation period after creating the account.

Well that seems odd... all the domains resolve to their proper ip addresses ... I'm thinking this is a server side issue, not DNS

Hey - Can the same thing be accomplished by simply manually editing the DNS records?

If on a different shared IP, mail will be sent from that IP, and not from the main server shared IP, correct?

Thanks.

No. Mail will be sent from the server's IP.

Largely this is a completely pointless exercise, it has no impact on anything, and is just a waste of yet more ipv4 resources

Okay - yes, I now see that it is indeed pointless.

Can you help point me in the right direction as to how I may change the outgoing mail-server's IP without changing the main shared IP for all accounts?
