When I was researching Jodo like 4 months ago I had been told that the 2 dedicated IPs on the basic reseller plan where for name servers. I was interested on this to get almost %99.99 anonymity from Jodo. Now I know this is not the case anymore. Are there any plans to allow this in the future?
Thank you very much.
Dedicated Name Server IPs are given to new name servers & resellers only on the SilverHost and above
This was changed only recently. Almost NO hsphere reseller provider gives dedicated IPs on the smaller plans. If you want to know some of them, PM me.
Firstly, ARIN has become very strict in IP justification requirements. Secondly, the way HSphere and the DNS servers are configured, we can only put a maxiumum of 512 IPs per dns server. That means a ns1 and ns2 pair can handle name servers of 500 resellers max. That means we’d need to add new name servers very frequently. If we started to add name servers very frequently.. you as resellers would also need to configure all these name servers. Imagine having to create ns1 to ns10… and 2 nameservers being added every 8 to 10 weeks.. Not something you’d like to deal with.
Ns1 to ns4 have been designed to last us for at least 1.5 years
