I just got off the phone with godaddy customer support. Unfortunately the lady i spoke with had no clue what c class ip's were... I have 1 deluxe hosting account with them that hosts my 15 domains, and would like some of those domains to come from a different c class IP. What should I do? Could I get a new hosting account from godaddy? how could i be sure the ip would be different? Is there a cheaper way of doing this? The lady mentioned their dedicated hosting, but at $70/month thats too expensive. What about setting up a basic (cheap) hosting account with another company like hostgator? Appreciate any help at all, since cust support let me down, you guys are all i've got left.
The only way to be sure would be to get another account with a different hosting company. If you go with HostGator you can join for one cent here or there's a WebHostingPad coupon which saves you $25. Andrew
GoDaddy definitely packs a lot of customer sites onto a single machine. I've only worked with a single account with them before, so I'm probably not the best to comment on the IP issues. I recommend using another provider. Their service is marginal, but my biggest reason for not using them is I'm a minnow in a huge tank - there is little incentive to step to the plate with customer service issues.
you may need to ask them this question directly to get a good response, getting different class c ips can be a pain sometimes and valid reasons are needed.
i don't understand what's the purpose of having Class C IP address. so why are you looking for a class C ip?
thanks for the responses guys, It seems like ill just look into another basic hosting plan with another company... recommend any?
You can request from the hosting provider for different ips. The most they will give for a share hosting is 2 diff ips. You can try webhostingpad and currently I have a webhostingpad coupon that will give you $25 discount, 100% work.
How about your requirements? The same with Godaddy offers, or going with other better quality, but lower space, bandwidth vendors?
