Question
There are a lot of subscriptions assigned to an IP address in Plesk for Windows. How to switch all subscriptions to a different IP address on Windows?
Note: For Plesk for Linux, refer to the article How to replace IP address for domains/clients/resellers in Plesk for Linux.
Answer
Use Plesk Reconfigurator to re-assign all subscriptions to a different IP address.
- Login to Plesk.
- Go to Tools & Settings > IP Addresses and remove the new IP (IP to move subscriptions to), if it already exists in Plesk.
- To move subscriptions to a different IP using Plesk Reconfigurator, IP should be added on a server directly and should not exist in Plesk.
- Connect to the server using RDP.
- Re-add new IP address in Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings > right mouse click on a network interface > Properties > Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) > Properties > Advanced > Add.
- Go to Start > All Programs > Plesk Reconfigurator.
- Select the option Change server IP addresses. The window IP Addresses Reconfiguring will be opened.
- In the section Select the IP addresses to be changed, select IP addresses which are to be replaced.
- Map each selected IP to a new IP address:
8.1. To map a selected address, click on the address entry. The entry will be highlighted.
8.2. Select the address to map to:
- To map to an existing IP address, use the section Existing Address.
- To map to a new IP address that will be created during mapping, use the section Create New IP Address.
9.Click Next.
Plesk installation will be reconfigured to use the newly specified IP addresses in place of the old ones. All related records in the database will be updated, network adapter settings will be changed (the old IP addresses are removed), FTP and web servers will be reconfigured, and DNS records will be updated accordingly.
If the changing fails during execution, all the changes are rolled back.
Note: When connected to the server through the Remote Desktop connection, a change the server IP address will terminate the session.
