License and IP questions
Ok so I own a couple Dedicated Servers, I recently got into Web Hosting Via Reselling Shared Hosting. I have some dedicated servers i purchased a while back for some personal projects that i never ended up using. their decently spec'd hardware.
I currently have them hosted on a 1gbps backbone. They each have one static IP.
My first question is, Will i be able to host multiple sites using cpanel when the server only has 1 static ip?
My Second question is, Do i need one cpanel license per dedicated server, or will i have to purchase a license for each customer that buys webhosting from me so they can use Cpanel/whm?

Hello, My first question is, Will i be able to host multiple sites using cpanel when the server only has 1 static ip?
Yes, it's acceptable (and common behavior) to host multiple accounts on a single IP address. No special configuration is required.My Second question is, Do i need one cpanel license per dedicated server, or will i have to purchase a license for each customer that buys webhosting from me so they can use Cpanel/whm?
You'd need one cPanel license for each server. There's no per-domain or per-account limitation on the license. Thank you.0 -

What about NameServers? Im assuming Each Dedicated Server would need its own nameservers, How do i set them up if 2 static ip's are required so that my customers domains link properly to their website?0 -

You can use the same IP address for both name servers, and it's acceptable for this to be the same IP address assigned to your accounts. We provide a guide on setting up the name servers at: How to Set Up Nameservers in a cPanel Environment - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation Thank you.0 -
Go Daddy For instance Wont accept two Nameservers with the same ip????
Have you tested and confirmed that to be true? That seems to be contrary to the behavior I've seen in the past. Thank you.0 -
I tried it Last night and it wouldnt accept ns2.example.com because it was the same ip as ns1.example.com I will give it another try here in a bit, and let you know. 0 -
Update:, Its allowing 2 Name servers with the same ip now, i must have been doing something wrong last night 0 -
