You can change the IP address of a domain via WHM and from back-end.<\/p>\n

Via WHM – Recommended<\/span><\/h2>\n

1. Log in to the WHM as root\/reseller.<\/p>\n

2. Move to Change Site’s IP Address<\/b> under Account Functions<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\"whm.png\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Select the domain and click Change<\/b>.<\/p>\n

4. In the window that follows, select the IP address to be used (from the drop-down menu) and click Change<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Via back-end – Not recommended<\/span><\/h2>\n

This method is to be used when you are getting an error when you try to change the IP address via WHM.<\/p>\n

1. Login to the server as root.<\/p>\n

ssh root@ipaddress -pport<\/i>\n<\/pre>\n
2.Edit the VirtualHost entry for the domain with the new IP address in the apache configuration file.<\/p>\n
vim \/usr\/local\/apache\/conf\/httpd.conf\n<\/pre>\n
2. Change the IP address from WHM >> Main >> DNS functions >> Edit DNS Zone<\/b>. (or edit the file \/var\/named\/domain.com.db)<\/p>\n
3. Also change instances of the old IP to the new IP in the following locations.<\/p>\n
\/var\/cpanel\/users\/$user \n\/var\/cpanel\/userdata\/$user\/$domain \n<\/pre>\n
4. Run<\/p>\n
\/scripts\/updateuserdomains \n<\/pre>\n
4. Now rebuild the Apache configuration and restart apache.<\/p>\n
\/scripts\/rebuildhttpdconf \nservice httpd restart \n<\/pre>\n
If you are changing the domain from a dedicated IP address, remove the IP address entry from the file \/etc\/domainips<\/b>.<\/p>\n
If the new change is not shown in WHM >> IP Functions >> Show IP Address Usage<\/b>, change the IP address in \/etc\/userdatadomains<\/b>. Also remove the symbolic link of FTP from\/etc\/pure-ftpd<\/b>.<\/p>\n
Please note that your site will be unavailable for 4-6 hours, if you change the IP address.<\/p>\n\n\n
