djasalus Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Afternoon All Soon to join my fellow Hawkers but before I do, I have a quick question in reagrds to dedicated IP's. I understand the benefits of using one but would like someone to explain if possible how this works exactly. For example: I have an e-commerce website which requires the use of an dedicated IP address however I also want to host sites that have nothing to do with business therefore do not necessarily require the use of one. Do all use the same IP, can you specify or is best practice to have it setup for your main domain only. Hope this is clear and any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Brian Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 If you sign up with a shared account, the dedicated IP would be configured to your account only. That being said, any addon, sub, or parked domains which you add would use that IP. If you sign up with a reseller account, you can have more than one dedicated IP. So then what you would do is order a dedicated IP and you could assign it to your one e-commerce site only, and then use another IP for all other sites. Hopefully that is clear and helps but if not just let me know and I'll clear it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would running personal websites and an e-commerce website off the same dedicated IP cause any potential security or other related problems?

Brian Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 In theory it shouldn't increase your risk or cause any problems. The major benefit of the reseller account in this instance is organization and isolation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djasalus Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Cheers for the reply. It's all starting to make sense...I think... anways we shall see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 One thing to keep in mind is that, despite the "headache", we can always move you to a reseller from a shared account if you wanted to upgrade. Best of luck in the research and post back if anything else comes up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurgbp2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 how much would it be in price pack of IPs let's say 10 of them? and how much do they vary in class subnet mask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 how much would it be in price pack of IPs let's say 10 of them? and how much do they vary in class subnet mask? The price per Ip is $3/month. As far as subnet mask no guarantees on that. Also it's worth noting we require valid justification for all IP's. If justification is not valid we will not issue the IP addresses.
