First off you can add multiple IP’s to each SliceHost VPS. Adding the secondary IP address to a SliceHost Virtual Private Server (VPS) is easy. Open the SliceManager control panel and click the Help tab to open a support ticket. In the ticket state that you want a secondary IP, the justification for it, and that you understand it will cost $2/month. Typically support responds very quickly and will configure the secondary IP address for you.
Typical justification would be that you are running a web server and need to have multiple SSL certificates.
To view the secondary IP address on your Linux VPS enter the below command.
- ifconfig -a
You should get an output similar to the below.
- [root@corp ~]# ifconfig -a
- eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 40:32:44:EE:1C:9A
- inet addr:192.168.1.20 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
