Viewing IP Addresses

To view the IP addresses included in your hosting package, go to Tools
& Utilities > IP Addresses.

Your IP addresses are listed and the following supplementary information
is given:

• An icon in the S (Status) column shows if your
  IP address is properly configured on the network interface. If your
  IP address was removed from the network interface by your provider,
  an icon will show .

• An icon in the T (Type) column shows if you
  were allotted a dedicated IP address, and if the
  address is shared among other customers of your service provider. A
  dedicated IP address is not used by other users, so you can use it to
  host either:

  • A single e-commerce website secured with Secure Sockets Layer
    encryption.

  or

  • A number of websites that do not need Secure Sockets Layer
    encryption.

    Note: Shared IP addresses should be used for hosting only non
    e-commerce websites.

• The Certificate column shows which SSL/TLS certificate (for what
  domain name) is tied to an IP address.

• The FTP over SSL/TLS column (on Windows-based servers) shows
  whether it is possible to use secure FTP connection (FTP over
  SSL/TLS) on one of the domains hosted on this IP address.

• The Hosting column shows a number of websites hosted on an IP
  address. To view the domain names of these websites, click the number
  in the Hosting column.

You can perform the following operations on IP addresses:

• Change IP allocation type. You can mark your IP addresses as shared
  or dedicated before you use them for hosting websites. This allows
  Plesk to distinguish between them and to not let you use a dedicated
  IP address for several customers at once. A dedicated IP address can
  be used in subscriptions of a single customer, while a shared IP
  address can be shared among different customers’ subscriptions. Note
  that SSL/TLS protection with authentic digital certificates and
  Anonymous FTP services are available only to a dedicated hosting
  account on a dedicated IP address. Shared hosting accounts can also
  have SSL/TLS protection, but visitors of such protected sites will
  receive error messages in their browsers.
• Assign an SSL/TLS certificate to an IP address. This will assign the
  selected SSL/TLS certificate to all websites hosted on that IP
  address.
• Select a default website. Because users can refer to a web resource
  on your server by typing an IP address and there can be several
  websites hosted on that address, Plesk needs to know which of the
  sites to show in such cases. Plesk automatically assigns the first
  website created on an IP address as the default website; however, you
  can select any other website and make it default.

To change an IP address allocation type (shared, dedicated), assign
another SSL/TLS certificate to an IP address, or select the default
website:

1. Go to Tools & Utilities > IP Addresses, and click the IP
   address you need.
2. Make the required changes, and click OK.
