By default, cPanel allows one IP per account<\/strong>, however, in case you wish to assign multiple IPs to an account, say for a sub-domain, you can do so by editing a few files. Follow the below steps:<\/p>\n

1)<\/strong><\/span> The main configuration file of a domain is stored under the \/var\/cpanel\/userdata\/<username>\/ directory, so edit the subdomain related file under it<\/p>\n

\n
# vi \/var\/cpanel\/userdata\/<username>\/subdomain.domain.tld<\/span><\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Change the value of “IP” to a dedicated IP and save the file. The add-on and Park domains have their related subdomain files in the same directory.<\/p>\n
2)<\/strong><\/span> Now, rebuild the Apache configuration for the changes to take affect in the respective VirtualHost entry<\/p>\n
\n
# \/scripts\/rebuildhttpdconf <\/span><\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n
3)<\/strong><\/span> Restart the Apache webserver<\/p>\n
\n
# service httpd restart<\/span><\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n
4)<\/strong><\/span> Add the dedicated IP and sub-domain in the \/etc\/domainips file to mark the dedicated IP as assigned so WHM won’t be able to assign it to other domains.<\/p>\n
\n
dedicatedIP: subdomain.domain.tld<\/span><\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Save the file and rebuild the IP pool<\/p>\n
\n
# \/scripts\/rebuildippool<\/span><\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n
5)<\/strong><\/span> Now, edit the DNS zone file of the main domain (i.e. the domain under which the sub-domain is created) and add an ‘A’ record for the sub-domain to point to the new IP.<\/p>\n
\n
# vi \/var\/named\/domain.tld.db<\/span><\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Save the file and restart the ‘named’ service<\/p>\n
\n
# service named restart<\/span><\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Allow sometime for the new IP to propagate.<\/p>\n
Note:<\/strong><\/span> Rebuilding the IP pool will still list the IP as free under the WHM -> IP Function -> ‘Show IP Address Usage’, however WHM wont allow you to assign that IP to another domain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
