addition of external IP in "IP-Manager plugin"

proftpd
addition of external IP in "IP-Manager plugin" If you go to Plugins -- IP Manager IP Manager is an existing plugin What's different in this server, unlike the standard version, is that the IPs available to assign to each domain are IPs not linked to the server. So for example. Inside the plugin, it is possible to assign the IP 101.170.169.199 to a domain. But that IP is in a totally different datacenter and network than WHM's IP, which is 192.99.41.231. By default, cPanel/WHM DO NOT allow an external IP like 101.170.169.199 to be added to the server. What we want to have is this, to have a cPanel/WHM version that allows us to add external IPs. Make sense? so this is something that has more to do with the backend code than with a user interface. Because the interface here is provided by the IP Manager IP. Which is already available. I don't know if this requires changing the code of WHM itself. Or just changing the code of the IP Manager Plugin. you can prompt please as it can be done? it is possible links or examples in documentation on development? thank you very much [COLOR="silver">- - - Updated - - - I was mistaken a forum, you can transfer to forum "cPanel Developers"?

    The cPanel Developer Forum is not for this sort of request. The cPanel Feature Requests system is though, and you can find that, here:

    allowing us to add IPs from other servers to WHM and be able to assign them to clients. This would be like a faux IP module for WHM. Module should display a "fake" IP in the WHM interface for domains/accounts without changing the actual IP of the site on the server and preserving the ability to change a domain's real IP. IPs should be able to be added or removed using a GUI interface within WHM. So for example, even if the "real" IP of the WHM server in which a particular domain is hosted is 47.52.xxx.xxx, we want the ability to add a bunch of external IPs not related to the WHM server at all, and assign them to domains in WHM. So the client will see that he's hosted in for example 192.156.xx.xx even though the real IP of the WHM server is 47.52.xxx.xxx The plugin should also have the ability to to bulk add faux IPs in list and CSV format. When a new "reseller" account was created in WHM with a particular package (after it is bought via WHMCS), we'd like the account to be automatically provisioned with fixed numbers of faux IPs, which the reseller customers would be able to assign to particular cPanel accounts they create within their WHM interface. So for example, even if the "real" IP of the WHM server in which a particular domain is hosted is 47.52.xxx.xxx, we want the ability to add a bunch of external IPs not related to the WHM server at all, and assign them to domains in WHM.

Web Host Manager: /http://192.99.xx.xxx:2086/ Username: fugitive Password: What that company is doing is SEO Hosting We sell SEO hosting as well The way it works is that our clients buy a hosting package. We give them a WHM reseller account to host their sites So let's say that our WHM server So the server in which they're going to have their reseller account Is 192.99.xx.xxx But SEO Hosting is about assigning different IPs from different servers to the sites So Google cannot track down that all the sites actually belong to the same person So our client has for example domain1.com domain2.com domain3.com domain4.com And he wants to host them in a series of small servers that we have in other locations So we've got a VPS in Amsterdam, so that's one IP Another VPS in London, that's another IP Etc All of those small VPS are setup with a script that replicates the site that is actually hosted in 192.99.xx.xxx The script is configured to hit the core WHM server (in this example 192.99.xx.xxx) to fetch files So for example domain1.com is pointing via DNS to the VPS in Amsterdam But when a regular user hits domain1.com in the browser The script will actually fetch files from the core WHM server, and display them Nobody knows this except for our client and us, the hosting company For the public, including Google, the domain is hosted in that small VPS in Amsterdam Not in the core WHM server in which WordPress is actually installed Making sense so far? Look, go into /http://192.99.xx.xxx:2086/ - Account Information >> List Accounts Every single site there is "hosted" in different IPs, but in reality the WordPress files are all in 192.99.xx.xxx They just give random IPs to the sites that are not related to the server at all That's what we need Yeah the domain ip. The ip assigned to each cpanel account in there

    If you go to Plugins -- IP Manager IP Manager is an existing plugin
    cPanel has no plugin called IP Manager. Feature Requests should be posted to the Feature Requests site.

    That's not what you stated though. If you go to Plugins -- IP Manager IP Manager is an existing plugin
    Please feel free to post a new Feature Request if you wish. There is no need to post the same thread to multiple forums here.

    proftpd, what you actually need is a separate database which maps domain names you have in cPanel to IP addresses of your VPSes. Technically it doesn't relate to cPanel except that you'd probably want to edit a template where you domain information is shown to query and show you the IP address of the VPS as well as the real IP of the domain. I don't think this should go into "feature requests" as cPanel people will never implement it - I think it's too specific for your purpose.
