IP Exclusive or Shared?

[BillChang]

Hello,
My server has 29 IPs.
We are planning to sell reseller accounts.

1. Can anyone advice me how can I use them?
For only SSL?
Or do we have to give 2 IPs for each resellers for NameServers! Is it needed?

2. Is there a performance between Exclusive or Shared IP? Do you advice us give all our resellers 2 Exclusive IPs or Shared IPs?

Hello,

You don't need to give each of your reseller a dedicated IP's at all.
If they want to use their own name servers to be anonymous to their customers, no problem.

Here is an example that will work 100%.

If your reseller needs 2 own DNS Servers registered like this:

NS1.YOURRESELLER.COM
NS2.YOURRESELLER.COM

Let them register the above name servers with your own DNS servers IP's:

NS1.YOURDNS.COM 55.55.55.55
NS2.YOURDNS.COM 66.66.66.66

So your resellers dns will look now like this:

NS1.YOURRESELLER.COM 55.55.55.55
NS2.YOURRESELLER.COM 66.66.66.66

if another reseller needs their own DNS servers then it will look like this:

NS1.YOURSECONDRESELLER.COM 55.55.55.55
NS2.YOURSECONDRESELLER.COM 66.66.66.66

and so on...

There is NO performance differance between a Shared and Dedicated IP.

Please let me know if you need additional help with this.

Henry
