IP
Assignment 
From
the main Reseller panel , click the "IP Assignment" icon.
The
IP assignment menu allows you to view and configure your IP address
allocation.
Server
IPs
If
you see a server IP in your table, it means that you are allowed to
create name-based accounts using that IP address. That is, your
customers' web sites would resolve to that IP address. In the
above table, we see one server IP (216.194.67.119). Please note
that you cannot alter this IP address because it is not owned by you.
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 Reseller "owns" all the IP addresses in the table (except
for server IPs). That is, the Reseller 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, our Reseller 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).
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
Sharing
IP Addresses
To
make an IP address shared (assignable to multiple Users/sites), place a
check next to the IP address(es) you want to share and then click the
"Share Selected" button.
Please
note that you cannot share an IP address that is currently owned and in
use by a User, as this may cause their site to function improperly.
Freeing
IP Addresses
To
free an IP address (assign to nobody), place a check next to the IP
address(es) you want to free and then click the "Free
Selected" button.
Please
note that you cannot free an IP address that is currently used by a
User, as this will cause their site to stop functioning. You can
only free IP addresses that have no web sites associated with them.
