Have all system requirements other than dedicated IP

Post by mmarch »

Will this software still work for me? or is a dedicated IP an absolute requirement?


Thank you

It is needed in order for all subdomains and custom domains to work.

Excuse me, but why exactly is that so?
My server has one IP-Address, and the company who I rented the server from is giving me a hard time now that I'm asking for an additional IP-Address. The person responsible for that says that this script doesn't need an exclusive IP-Address, yet you write it does.
I have multiple domains hosted on this server of course all domains are name based virtualhosts.
Will it work in this environment or not?

It should work fine on a dedicated server with one ip address. You just need one free ip address that has no other wildcard dns on it.
