Looking for this interface?
Your hosting provider can enable or disable this interface for resellers in WHM's Edit Reseller Nameservers and Privileges interface (WHM >> Home >> Resellers >> Edit Reseller Nameservers and Privileges).
Overview
This feature allows you to reserve an IP address that is in your address pool. When you reserve an IP address, you cannot assign it to newly-created accounts. This is useful if, for example, you do not want the system to automatically assign a specific IP address to a new account as a dedicated IP address.
Reserving an IP address also prevents ApacheĀ® from listening on that IP address.
Reserve an IP address
To reserve an IP address, perform the following steps:
-
Select the checkbox next to the IP address that you wish to reserve.
Note:We strongly suggest that you specify a reason for why you reserved the IP address. This can be useful if, for example, multiple people administer your server. -
Click Save.
Unreserve an IP address
To unreserve an IP address, perform the following steps:
- Deselect the checkbox next to the IP address that you wish to place back in the address pool.
- Click Save.
