    Alright so far we're using 1 ip address for everything on the server. We have "4 available".

    Now is there any reason to put any site on a different ip? Someone help me out with this.

    Thanks

    -- to segregate your services in case a site on an IP would get the IP blacklisted
    -- SSL certificates
    -- SEO purposes (limited if on the same class c block)

    Roger that. I have 7 on one machine, just because of the SSL certs. You can have only one SSL per IP so if you need 4 sites secured individually you will need 4 IPs.
