Account creation requiring dedicated IP, but when it's not available

[santocki]

What happens if an account requires dedicated IP is automatically created by WHMCS but there aren't IPs available in the server? Will it be assigned to a shared IP, so it can be changed later?

 

Or, no IP will be assigned at all?

 

For creating accounts using shared IP, how does WHMCS know which IP to use if the account is the very first one? Does it choose randomly any available IP?

 

Is there a way to set some available IPs to be used for dedicated until all of them runs out, and some for shared IP?

 

 

Thank you.

All of these are questions for your control panel author - WHMCS doesn't know anything about the ip address.

Thanks for the replay. Then in this case, what would be the purpose of entering IP addresses at

 

Setup > Server > Edit Server

 

in the "Assigned IP Addresses (One per line)" box?

So you've got a record of what IP's you've manually assigned to the server.

Thanks guys for the replies, I am beginning to see the light in WHMCS

 

Just one more thing, at

 

Setup > Product / Services > Edit Product > Module Settings

 

I've learned that you only need to enter the WHM Package Name if you have created the package in WHM. If no package was created in WHM, by entering all the quota info, will it automatically create the packages or are the quota info just for record purpose too?

If you don't enter a package name then it will create a custom account in WHM.
