1. Web Hosting with SSL: Generally, an SSL certificate will be issued
for a specific domain. Because of the limitations of the Apache web
server, certificate files are restricted to a perIP or per-system basis.
Therefore, any client that would like to host an SSL encrypted domain
on the server will need a unique IP address. The justification will be
considered Acceptable when the customer provides a copy of the CSR and
corresponding CAsigned CRT for each domain. Please do not include the
key file.
2. Custom Name Server Addresses: In compliance with standard RFCs,
name servers must run on unique IP addresses. In order for resellers and
other customers to utilize custom name servers on their own domain, 2
IP addresses are required.
3. Applications Requiring a Unique Port: Some services that clients
choose to host require that each instance of the application utilize a
specific port on the server. Therefore, to run multiple instances of the
service, multiple IP addresses are required. Examples of these types of
services include SMTP, POP, IMAP4 and NNTP.
4. Virtual Machine Hosting: Providers of virtual machine hosting
services require unique IP addresses for each virtual machine that they
provide to a customer. Additionally, as a virtual machine functions much
like a dedicated server, endusers as well as the customer may wish to
utilize the service to provide other services that are acceptable
justification for additional address space. Any of the services listed
above are examples of the services that a virtual machine hosting
customer may host on their virtual machine hosting server.
5. Network Equipment and IPs used for Addressing: Generally, this
type of justification will only apply to colocation customers.
Addresses utilized for access and administration of networking devices,
such as routers, switches, PDUs, and other equipment, will fall into
this category.
