Virtual Server Dedicated IP?

Submitted by jims45 on Mon, 12/26/2016 - 09:11

My server is hosted on Digital Ocean with Webmin/Virtualmin as my control panel. I have created a virtual server with the standard shared IP set up. I now need to move the server to a dedicated IP. Can I do that with my existing setup?

Thanks

Yes you first need to add your IP addresses in Address and networking->Shared IP Addresses->Shared IPv4 addresses for any servers then you can update your virtual server iP from Virtual server->Server configuration->Change IP

Thank you so much for your reply.

Sorry for my lack of knowledge, I added another IP address but that now gives me an option of a "non-default shared IP adress" which is in fact a floating IP I assigned to this Digital Ocean droplet. Does this now act as a dedicated IP address?

Thanks

‍‍non-default shared IP adress‍‍ means that this IP will be used as the IP address of your website which apache listens on.

It is shared which means that you can assign other virtual servers to use this IP, and it is non-default which means that it is not assigned by default when you create a new virtual server.
