Unique IPs for Different Website

Posted on December 18, 2024
Websites Droplets
Asked by Guram Chankseliani

Hello.

I want to host 5 websites on a single Droplet but each site have to have unique IPs. It could be shared IP but all my 5 websites must have different IPs from each other.

Is it possible somehow? Maybe reserved IPs?

Droplets come with a single IP address however you can also attach 1 extra reserved IP address as described here:

As for hosting multiple webnsites on the Droplet you can use a WebService like Nginx/Apache.That is the standard way and I’ve used it all my life without any issues. So rather than spending money on different Droplets and reserved IP addresses you can do that.

Heya, @guramchankseliani

Yes, hosting multiple websites on a single DigitalOcean Droplet with unique IPs is possible using reserved IPs or additional private IPs.

While Reserved IPs are limited, private IPs or a reverse proxy can be used for backend routing. However, this method does not provide unique public IPs for each website.
