Extra IP's - how to get them from your host?
 

It seems like all major hosts (at least mine) demands a justification or reason before supplying you with extra IP's. I got a big bunch of PR4 domains, which I would really like to be on single IP's...

How do you get around that with your host?

$$$ - usually solves the problem

We have always given individual IPs for every domain that we host.

i tell them they are for search engine reasons, and they always give them to me

shit, with my account at theplanet, i can just give any basic reason....my usual one is that I need them for ip distribution to clients

if you use enough bandwidth and give them enough money, they will have no troubles giving you more ip's

You can get one automatically with webair when adding a domain. No waiting or beating around the bush. If you go over on your plan, it's like 2$ per month for an extra IP.

tell them you want to use SSL on your domains :)

I thought about that, but to ask for IP's to 14 domains for that seems a little extreme to me.. what if they want some kind of proff or something??

That sounds like a good reason to give them..

It really depends on the DC policy.

I use one in NY. To have extra Ip's ( up to 256 ! ), all I need is a credit card.

In another one, I have to " justify " ... and when I get an extra 5 to 10, I am happy!

I host at www.techiemedia.com and they give me all the ip's I need, actually they put all my domains on separate ip's if I want. :thumbsup

I pay $2.00 for extra IP

Thanks for all the replies.. seems like every hosting company got there own rules and practices..

Anybody uses iweb.ca or knows how difficult it is to get extra IP's with a dedicated server there?

LOL .... I have trouble getting Name servers IP with Iweb....

It is as hard to get as it is to find a virgin at an Internet show.

On the other hand , I have a few unused there ( 4 to 6 ) , so if you change hosting, I could allocated them to you.

I just ask for them.

O'Reily ....

theplanet/servermatrix ROCKS... just be like i need more IPs and they'll give them to you for a monthly fee. if your hosting ask why just say SSL or for DNS

It's easy, you just email [email protected] and ask :)

multiple IP's with multiple Class C's and multiple nameservers are no problem, virtual or dedicated, at www.gotwebhost.com

No "justification" required.

any bigger host will take care of that for some $

You can get with a little $ new IPS for your domains.

Database(s) $1.00
IP Address(s) $2.00
