Where can i find de IP for puchasing?

Post by dammie »

Hyja,

I like to purchase but i have a question about the IP.

I have a reseller account with directdmin panel.

Here i can find 3 IP addresses. The first one has the status "server" with ns1.myhost.xx and the other 2 with the status "free" and ns1.mydomain.xx and ns2.mydomain.xx

All of them has other IP adresses. Which one do you need?

TIA

Any IP will work, even ones used by nameservers. Just make sure you can access your website by typing http://1.2.3.4/ (where 1.2.3.4 is your ip).

The problem is when i do that i see this message:

This IP is being shared among many domains.
To view the domain you are looking for, simply enter the domain name in the location bar of your web browser.


Is this a problem?

Yes, this is a problem. Script won't work properly without a dedicated IP.

In directadmin reseller panel try to create a user account and assign an IP to it. Then use that user account for forum hosting. Try it by creating blank index page and trying to access it by ip.
