Dum Dedicated Server Question!

**Renners** · 08-01-09

I've just rented a Dedicated server in the USA and it comes with one main and 4 subnet IP addresses. Does this mean I can assign a different IP subnet address to a different Web Site? What about the main can I use this as well?

In the UK I've got 1 IP and use Hostheaders to diviy up so it's new to me.

Thanks

Hello Renners,

You can assign those IP's to websites you host. However, please let us know the control panel you have on the server as IP management for websites can be done through control panel.

thanks for that, wasn't sure.

I'm not using a control panel as I prefer (the pain!) direct access

Which OS is installed on your dedicated server ?

I'm giving Win 2008 Standard Edition a go at the mo to see what its like.

You can assign the IP to a particular domain using the IIS MMC. You will get a bind option in website property to add IP to a particular website.

Hope you will enjoy your hosting experience with Windows Server 2008. :tup
