    We have recently obtained our own block of IP addresses and want to change one of our existing servers to use our new IP addresses. Just wondering how we go about updating our server?

    Add the ip to your server
    whm > Ip functions > add new ip address

    Once it is available you can then change the main share IP in the basic cpanel/whm setup.

    If you want to bring in more than one address, use the ip migration wizard.

    Okay, but how do we get rid of the old IP address?

    I hope I am making myself clear :) Whilst we have managed to change the Main IP of the server, the old is still 'undeletable in the delete IP section in WHM.
