I have just purchased a dedicated server with CPanel and 6 dedicated IP addresses to host a few websites of my clients including my own website. My server is assigned the first IP address i.e. IP1.00.00.00.
I would like to have my own private name servers along with dedicated IP addresses for my own website (xyz.com) and my client website.
I purchased a domain xyz.com and created my own name servers by using the first 2 IP addresses.
Q1) Now will the first IP address (IP1.00.00.00) create any issue as it is assigned to both nameserver-1 and my own server? Or shall I change the IP address of my server to IP3.00.00.00?
Q2) I would like my own website i.e. xyz.com to have a dedicated IP address as well. So shall I use one more IP address i.e. IP4.00.00.00 for my own domain (xyz.com) or is it not required?
Q3) My client website also requires a dedicated IP address. I have sent him the nameserver details for him to point his domain at my newly created name servers i.e. Ns1.xyz.com and Ns2.xyz.com
Q4) Now shall I assign the fifth IP address i.e. IP5.00.00.00 for my client's domain? Or when his domain points to my name servers (having unique IP addresses) - another dedicated IP (IP5) is not required for his domain? Please suggest.
Now IP1 and IP2 are being used as nameservers. IP1 is associated with my server as well IP4 for my own domain xyz.com (or is it not required as IP1 is assigned to Ns1.xyz.com) IP5 for my client's website
Q5) Is the above distribution of IP addresses between name servers, my own domain and my client domain correct?
I am sorry I have little knowledge about these IP addresses and name servers.
My idea is to assign a dedicated IP address to my own website (xyz.com) and my client's website along with having 2 IPs reserved for my private name serves.
Could you please suggest a realistic distribution of IP addresses? Thanks.
