Allocating Dedicated IP Address to a Domain In Plesk (Version 12)

In Plesk version 12, you can assign a dedicated IP address to a domain using either automatic or manual IP mapping. Let’s explore both options:

1. Automatic IP Mapping:

   • During migration, Plesk Migrator automatically reassigns domains to IP addresses on the destination server based on the following rules:
     • If a domain had a dedicated IP address on the source server, an unallocated dedicated IP address is assigned on the destination server (if available).
     • If no unallocated dedicated IP addresses remain, the default shared IP address is used.
     • For domains that shared the same IP address on the source server, Plesk Migrator attempts to assign them to separate shared IP addresses on the destination server.
     • If insufficient shared IP addresses exist, the default shared IP address is used.
   • You can also perform manual IP mapping using an IP mapping file or the migration list file.
   • To use an IP mapping file:
     • Create a plain text file with two columns of IP addresses (source server IPs and corresponding destination server IPs).
     • Example mapping file content:

       192.168.1.10 10.52.1.16
       192.168.1.11 10.52.1.17
       192.168.1.12 10.52.1.17
       

     • Pass the mapping file to Plesk Migrator using the --ip-mapping-file option.

2. Manual IP Assignment:

   • To switch the IP address for a domain in Plesk:
     1. Log into Plesk.
     2. Navigate to Domains > example.com > Hosting & DNS > Hosting.
     3. Find the IP addresses in the Webspace settings section.
     4. Choose an IP address from the list configured for the Plesk server.

Remember, these steps apply to Plesk version 12. If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
