Basic Steps:
- Login to the panel: First, access your reseller package from your hosting provider’s customer panel and log in to the DirectAdmin control panel.
- Viewing IP addresses: In the “IP Management” section, you can see all IP addresses assigned to your account.
- Assigning IPs: You can assign a dedicated IP address to a new domain or user. This is especially important for SSL certificates.
- Blocking/allowing IPs: For security, you can blacklist certain IPs or whitelist trusted ones.
- Changing IPs: It is possible to change the IP of an existing domain; this is usually done when moving a site to another server.
Important Use Cases
- SSL Certificates: Each SSL certificate may require a separate IP. In this case, you need to assign IPs in your reseller account.
- Security: IP blocking is used to prevent suspicious logins.
- Performance: Load balancing can be achieved by distributing traffic across different IPs.
- Customer Management: As a reseller, you can assign separate IPs to different customers to provide a more professional service.
Points to Consider
- Incorrect IP assignment may cause sites to become inaccessible.
- Be careful when blocking IPs; blocking the wrong IP may cut off customer access.
- IP addresses are limited resources; you may need to request additional IPs from your hosting provider.
- Log monitoring: After IP management, check access logs to detect incorrect blocks.
