How To Add Another IP Address on my VirtualityVPS?

Read this full knowledge base article and know how do you add another IP address?

All our Virtual Private Servers include 1 IP address. If you require more than one IP you can purchase one through the control panel.

For cPanel and web hosting users, all IP address requests must be justified with a legitimate reason. SEO is not a legitimate reason, Google rankings do NOT in anyway take into account or know if you have a dedicated or shared IP. cPanel also fully supports SNI which enables you to host multiple SSL enabled websites on a shared IP address (the same as normal shared hosting), so SSL is also no longer a valid reason for extra IP addresses in a cPanel environment.

To order a new IP address

1. Go to https://portal.controlmyvps.com.au

2. Login using your email address and password

3. Click on the 'Modify' tab

4. Select the VPS in question from the drop down list

5. Click on 'Addons' -> 'Order IP Address'

6. Click 'Order Now' next to '1 x IP Address'.

You can order multiple IP addresses for a single VPS, but each will need to be placed as a separate order using the process above. IP addresses are automatically provisioned and you will be informed within a few minutes of your new IP address.

Once you receive the new IP you will have to add it to your VPS.

With WHM/cPanel VPSs this is done in WHM under the IP Functions option.

For Windows this is done in the Network Adapter properties.

For CentOS you need to create a new file for your current network adapter e.g.

nano /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:1

DEVICE=eth0:1
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=203.143.x.x
ONBOOT=yes

Save the file.

Type: ifup eth0:1
