Microsoft Australia Seeks Address Space After APNIC Knockout

www.thehostingnews.com

Microsoft recently completed the purchase of 700,000 addresses from Nortel due to the recent threat of IPv4 exhaustion.  The length of which Microsoft would like to use the IPv4 addresses extends from July to September.  The addresses are usually provided temporarily through APNIC for such tech events including the Microsoft TechEd Convention.

Microsoft’s TechEd conference is scheduled to take place from May 16th through the 19th in Atlanta, Georgia.  IPv4 is currently accountable for over 4 billion web addresses.  IPv4 costs are set to increase due to their rapid depletion

Dedicated IP addresses cost $ 1-$ 2 per month, so its affordable for the average joe to host his website on a dedicated ip address. What about those of us who own over 100 web sites?

You cant afford to host each website on its own dedicated ip address if you own a large amount of websites “100 for example”, you also don’t want to host all these websites on one dedicated ip address, which means disaster for those with duplicated websites such as web directories network or article directories network or general blogs network…etc

The logical solution would be to host each 4-5 websites on one ip address. So if you have 100 web sites and only 20 dedicated ip addresses, you would assign one dedicated ip address for each 5 web sites. Anyway, the minute you host more than one website on an ip, its no longer called a dedicated ip, its called a shared ip address. So the question is how to have 20 shared ip addresses on your VPS or dedicated server?

If you have a VPS/Dedicated server with WHM/CPanel, log into WHM with your root account. Look for “Reseller Center” under “Resellers”, then “Add Reseller Privileges” to any of your websites, but not the website used for your nameservers. Now one of your websites has Reseller Privileges, lets call it example.com

After you give example.com reseller privileges, click on “Manage Main Shared/Ipless IP”, now choose any IP you want “not the main server ip” and click on save. The IP you have chosen is now a shared IP address and you can host as many sites as you want on it, by going to “Change Site’s IP Address” under “Account Functions”. Of course, you can give “Reseller Privileges” for AnotherExample.com, assign a different ip to it, and host a few sites on that ip.

Domain names are hostnames that allow us to remember websites more easily than using an IP address. So, for example, instead of having to remember 192.168.1.146 to come to this website, instead you can simply remember Domains.org.

Domain names are allowed to have letters, digits, and hyphens. No other characters may be used in a domain name. Domain names are also not case sensitive

Examples

The following example illustrates the difference between a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) and a domain name:

URL: http://www.domains.org/
Domain name: domains.org

In the past, domain names and server IP address were completely interchangeable. You could type in either and find the website you were looking for. Now, however, there are far more websites than there are servers, so servers now commonly use “virtual hosting” for websites. This allows multiple websites to exist on a single IP address.

For example, the server at 192.168.1.146 could handle all of the following sites:

example1.com
example2.net
example3.org

Source: domains.org
