IP
Manager 
From
the main Administrator menu, click the "IP Manager" link.
You will see a page that looks similar to this:
The
IP manager allows you add IP addresses to the control panel and allocate
them to your Resellers.
Server
IPs
This
is the main server IP address (216.194.67.119 in the above table).
The status is "server" because the IP address is owned by the
server only. The table tells us that 8 Users have sites on the
server IP.
Owned
IPs
An
owned IP is an IP address allocated to one User only. For example,
our Reseller (hostco) owns 66.51.122.133, which is the IP address of his
main web site (remember that Resellers are also Users). You can
think of owned IP addresses as dedicated or static IP addresses.
Technically,
the Admin "owns" all the IP addresses in the table (except for
server IPs). That is, the Admin controls how they are used.
Shared
IPs
A
shared IP is an IP address that more than one User can be assigned to.
In the above example, the Reseller hostco is using 66.51.122.137 for
name-based hosting. That is, he could create unlimited web sites
that resolve to that IP address.
Free
IPs
A
free IP is an IP address not in use by any User. The Reseller can
make it owned by a single User (to give that site its own dedicated IP
address) or the Reseller can make it shared (and host many sites from
that IP address). In the above example, 66.51.122.140 is free and
owned by the Reseller gary.
Name
Servers
The
nameserver column shows which IPs the Reseller's name servers are using
(this only applies if the Reseller's account comes with its own name
servers). IP addresses allocated to name servers still remain free
for web site hosting. This means a name server and a web site with
its own dedicated IP address can exist together (use the same IP
address).
Changing
IP Settings
Adding
IP Addresses
You
must tell the IP manager which IP addresses are allocated to your
server. To add an IP address, type it in at the top of the screen
and click the "Add IP" button. The IP address will then
appear in the table with free status.
The
NetMask value is usually 255.255.255.0 but you may change this as
needed.
Assigning
IP Addresses
To
assign an IP address to a Reseller, place a check next to the IP
address(es) you want to assign and then select the Reseller name from
the dropdown menu. Then, click "Assign to."
Please
note that you cannot assign an IP address that is currently owned by a
different Reseller. For example, we could not assign 66.51.122.142
to hostco because gary is the Reseller currently owning it. We
would first have to remove the IP address from gary.
Removing
IP Addresses from Resellers
To
remove an IP address from a Reseller, place a check next to the IP
address(es) you want to remove and click the "Remove from
reseller" button. Please note that you can only remove
"free" IP addresses. That is, if the IP address is owned
by the Reseller or one of his/her Users, the remove function will not
work.
