Important note: This article is applicable only for dedicated servers running on operating system FreeBSD (without a control panel).
Once the particular IP(s) are disclosed to you, please follow the instructions below on how to add them to your dedicated server IP pool:
1. Login to your server using SSH with username root.
2. Edit your rc.conf file to assign alias of the IP address at every server boot. You need to add the following line at the end of your /etc/rc.conf file:
ifconfig_rl0_alias0=”<IP address> netmask 255.255.255.0”
Note: You have to replace <IP address> with your actual IP address. We assume that you are adding your first additional IP address and you currently have only one assigned. If you are adding your “#n”th IP address then use ifconfig_rl0_alias#n-1. Please also note that you must give a non-conflicting netmask for each IP.
3. Finally, run the command # /etc/rc.d/inetd reload. You can now start to configure your firewall and Apache VirtualHost.
You can also use:
ifconfig bce1 add x.x.x.x netmask y.y.y.y
Just run that as root.
I have been using AYK for about 2 years now and they are always on top of any issues I have. They have gone over and beyond helping me with any problems that come up with the server and they have never said "no" to any of my requests. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable server company.
I have a two small shared hosting packages and the price I pay I don't expect to receive very good support. I accept with any shared hosting uptime cannot be guaranteed neither can it be 100% and anyone who suggests otherwise is living a dream. However on the occasions I have opened a ticket they have been answered and investigated promptly. I have been with ayksolutions.com since Jun/18/2008 oh wow where has the time gone!
Even though I only have a shared hosting plan, their technical support team responded to my tech support request within the hour, and correctly to boot. (I needed to have a subdomain point to a Tumblr blog by changing the CNAME.)
