Change a site’s IP address in WHM

This tutorial will show you how to change a site’s IP address in WHM

By default, all accounts on your server will share the same IP address — your server’s main IP. You can assign an account a dedicated IP address, if you wish, or move an account from a dedicated IP address to the shared IP.

1) To do that, go to Account Functions.

Take note of the warning. Changing a site’s IP address may cause it to appear down from some locations until the change has propogated across the entire Internet.
