Hello,

I am fairly new with running the VPS host. For now I have just one question.

Every VPS needs to have it's own IP, right? (in case when you want different people use that servers)

If I order a dedicated server, they can add up to 3 more IPs.

Now if I run 10 VPS on that machine, how I can handle it with just 4 IPs?

Buy additional ips?

As I've said, "they can add up to 3 more IPs".

The most VPSs you can create with 3 IPs (4 minus 1 for the host node) is 3 VPS without using NAT and sharing IPs.

1. Every VPS does NOT need it's own Public IP. You can always NAT them.

2. If you had a Dedicated server with 3 IPs, you can install however many VMs onto it but with NAT-ed IPs. If you want 1 VPS to 1 IP then you can only have 3 VPSes on that server.

Okay, thanks for the answers. I'll take a look at the NAT.

NAT will be a pain if you use Solus, at least from my research.

Nat is the only solution.


To access the NAT`ed systems You can always forward one of non-standard port to the nated system as ssh for example.

This will work on any host supporting standard linux iptables - so on all I know

You may be able to get ipv6 addresses in larger quantities than ipv4 addresses.
