How add more IP addresses to your cPanel server?
Sometimes a server admin or webmaster needs additional IP addresses added to a server. The following procedure describes the necessary steps to add more IP addresses to a cpanel / whm server. Log in to your WHM control panel on your server and navigate to the IP Address section:
Select the "Add a New IP Address" option. On the next window enter your additional IP address, select the correct subnet mask and submit it.
Once all IP addresses have been added, you will need to restart the ipaliases service. Log on to your server via SSH and switch to the root user. Then execute the following command:
service ipaliases restart
This will then bind the new IP addresses to the server, and allow them to be used in WHM/cpanel.
