Changing the IP address

Community Support

Hi

HestiaCP has a nice way for the client to change it’s IP address, but if he chages it, the server automatically starts to listen to new IP only, which means that the visitors trying to access the site with an old IP address will get the default site for the old IP address until his DNS picks up on the change. (This can be for days.)

Can this behavior be changed? IMHO the best would be for the server to listen to all available IP addresses.

I’m not even sure how to accomplish this manually. (Wasn’t paying attention in school. :slight_smile: )
Do we need multiple server {} declarations in nginx, or listening to 0.0.0.0 will do?

Just set only 1 ip to shared or assign 1 ip to the user… They should really never need to change the ip address.

Hi
Unless they used a shared IP and now want a dedicated one.
Since the option is open to the client, it would be nice if he could accomplish this without downtime during DNS propagation.
