Addon domain on GCP (Google DNS) + Option for Premium IP for addon domain

[nadav123]

Hello again
I succeed to install cPanel on GCP on the best side by the book of cPanel.

but have a couple of problems i still deal with. ( problems can be fixed and bypassed, not something serious )
as you know guys on GCP, the DNS of cPanel is not effective, and all the control is in GCP.

Is a little bit problem, because GCP generate for each domain NS records from his own, and
the clients are obligated to do internal nameservers:
How to create name servers for Google Cloud – cPanel

and this too:
https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us...our-Domain-for-Use-With-Google-Compute-Engine

It is mean:
You need to copy all the records cPanel generate to GCP DNS
now is a little problem with the addon domain...
this is because the construction of GCP is different from cPanel.

Now 2 solutions in my mind.
1. is to try to change the ns record inside the addon domain in GCP DNS. ( not good GCP not recommended to do it, so maybe internal NS servers on reseller mode? )

2. Is to buy another public IP from google and somehow assign it to the addon domain, but my problem, I check it, and i found this:
https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us...dd-a-dedicated-IP-address-to-an-addon-domain-


But!
As you see,
It is before a year ago.
Right now we are now on version 100.0, cPanel may be made an option for it?
or
is it still the same situation?

If have another option for me i be happy to hear it,
Let's say, if we can assign another premium IP from GCP and connect it to the VM ( This is the easy part, this is not what i need help with )


The help i need is:
To control the second IP inside cPanel, attach it to the addon domain.
and the must important, need to do it with a:
SOLO LICENSE on ADDON DOMAIN with 2 PREMIUM IPs.
Because of this kind of license, is much more complex and needs your advice guys. ( usually cPanel is able to assign IPs to users, but i have cPanel SOLO )

As i said,
if the addon domain is able to get a public IP as well, on SOLO LICENSE without opening another user.
is will solve the issue with the DNS... ( then i be able to do 4 nameservers, 2 to the main domain and 2 to the addon domain )

If not, i be happy to hear some solution or someone succeed to do it properly.

Hello! There would be no way to modify the DNS via cPanel or WHM if you are using Google's nameservers. If you want your clients to modify their DNS via cPanel, I would recommend configuring custom nameservers that resolve to your cPanel host.

How to Set Up Nameservers in a cPanel & WHM Environment | cPanel & WHM Documentation

Nameservers match domain names to IP addresses.

docs.cpanel.net

Please let me know if I am misunderstanding you.

little bit
is very problematic to set it up, the only option to set it up is with your own registry.
with DNSSEC.

this is the only way, i have already talked with GCP about that.
btw
they do not recommend doing it, because all the technology and the performance is in this construction GCP Build for the client.

I gonna do it right now, and i will tell you exactly what the server experience when i try to set it up.

another issue if you can provide me the answer is about dedicating IP to the addon domain without opening a new user for it.
this is because i have cPanel SOLO and i don't want to purchase now 5 accounts because of this.

Hello again! IP address assignments can only be done per cPanel account. There would, unfortunately, be no way to assign multiple IP addresses within one cPanel account. Additional cPanel accounts would be necessary for more IP addresses.

Thanks for the answer.

I will try the DNS with the addon (with one public IP). i will update.
