    I want to set dedicated/static IP for a site in WHM, lets say here is the ip lists :
    1.1.1.0 (Main shared IP, ns1.domain.com)
    1.1.1.1 (ns2.domain.com)
    1.1.1.2
    1.1.1.3 -> i want choose this as the dedicated/static IP
    1.1.1.4



    i already go to whm > Account Functions > Change Site's IP Address > choose the domain > and choose ip 1.1.1.3



    so what next?

    i try opening 1.1.1.3 in browser's address bar but its still say :
    Default Web site page cpanel
    If you feel you have reached this page in error, please contact the web site owner


    the ip 1.1.1.3 should be redirected to the site directly, what part do i miss?






    Nb. My host already set reverse dns too like this before, so i choose 1.1.1.3 for the static/dedicated ip for domain.com above, no problem with the reverse dns right?
    ns1.domain.com 1.1.1.0
    ns2.domain.com 1.1.1.1
    domain.com 1.1.1.3

    What happens if you go to the main IP in WHM in your browser?

    Have you contacted cPanel? They can troubleshoot things like this directly faster than a forum can - a simple search on google brought this up - can't post the link but "Default Webpage cpanel" might direct you...
    There are a lot of things that could be wrong - logs are your best bet at this point
