Maximum 1MB sites per IP address? (amount recommended or limit)




Posted by krystofo, 05-06-2007, 02:54 PM
Hello. I have about 200 'parked' domains. Using my 4GB VPS reseller panel, I wish to upgrade each to a 1MB website. (1-5 pages each.) Then, I hope to resell several hundred more 1MB sites, mostly with email disabled. Any problem to jam 1,000 domains onto one IP address? Or should I set up 3 sub-reseller accounts, each with a separate IP and a maximum of 300 domains? Or 5 sub-reseller IPs, each with a maximum of 200 domains? Etc. Also, at what point am I over-stressing my little VPS, and should get a true dedicated? ( Maybe already with 200?)

No problem with jamming 1000 sites one on IP. The only thing you should be worried about is SEO. You are over-stressing it when the load is high and it doesn't respond normally, when it begins crashing / etc

Thank you Siropel! Yes I know all about the SEO debate for IPs. What I don't know, I soon learn in a new debate...glad you recognize this is not the question here. So...no 'technical' reason not to put 1000 sites on one IP...and...'maybe' a VPS can even run 1000 sites. ...or nobody has been crazy enough to try... If so, my current plan is 5 sub-reseller accounts, all with no customer service. (Forum help only.) Main reseller 1: my own 10-20 main sites, 10-100MB Sub-reseller 2: my own 50-200 1MB parked sites, no email, no CGI. Sub-reseller 3: up to 300 x 1MB customer sites, no email, no CGI. Sub-reseller 4 and 5: each having up to 50 x 10MB customer sites with email forwarding, Fantastico Deluxe, and optional dedicated IP. (Any further upgrades will be on a separate host with whitelabel service.) I also enabled these "tweaks" in my master Cpanel, mostly to improve security. MAIL: checked everything except 'mailman URLs.' 10 maximum emails per hour. No CGI emails from 'nobody'. Blackhole is default for new accounts. NOTIFICATIONS: mailbox usage, space usage. STATUS: Load average for red: (My upstream host set to 2 but default is 'blank'.) SYSTEM: Allow SSL host if dedicated IP Disable whois lookups
