Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : VPS Hosting : Server with Multiple external IP address

[princejames112]

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.
Any suggestions?

That's the right approach. Get a managed dedicated server and install virtualization software on top of it. It's the most cost-effective way. You'll then be able to create as many Windows VPS instances as the resources permit (CPU, RAM, disk). Be sure to ask the provider for their IP allocation policy (shouldn't be a problem but it's better to ask ahead of time). Also, do discuss your goal with them prior to signing up.

You'll have to figure out how much resources the server will need (memory, hard drive, CPU, and bandwidth).

Do you need Windows? Or could you get away with something like virtualized ubuntu?
