Virtual hosting is a method for hosting multiple domain names (with separate handling of each name) on a single server (or pool of servers). [1] This allows one server to share its resources, such as memory and processor cycles, without requiring all services provided to use the same host name.
Amazon VPC provides several options for IP address management, including the use of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, the automatic assignment of private IP addresses, and the ability to assign static private IP addresses. Additionally, Amazon VPC provides the option to associate Elastic IP addresses with instances to ensure persistent public IP addresses.
A virtual private server (VPS) or virtual dedicated server (VDS) is a virtual machine sold as a service by an Internet hosting company. [1]A virtual private server runs its own copy of an operating system (OS), and customers may have superuser-level access to that operating system instance, so they can install almost any software that runs on that OS.
The 1.1.1.1 DNS service operates recursive name servers for public use at the twelve IP addresses listed below. [11] These addresses are mapped to the nearest operational server by anycast routing. [12] The DNS service is also available for Tor clients. [13] Users can set up the service by manually changing their DNS resolvers to the IP ...
Link-local addresses may be assigned manually by an administrator or by automatic operating system procedures. In Internet Protocol (IP) networks, they are assigned most often using stateless address autoconfiguration, a process that often uses a stochastic process to select the value of link-local addresses, assigning a pseudo-random address that is different for each session.
If an ISP deploys a CGN and uses private Internet address space [2] (networks 10.0.0.0 / 8, 172.16.0.0 / 12, 192.168.0.0 / 16) to connect their customers, there is a risk that customer equipment using an internal network in the same range will stop working.
VIP addresses can be advertised on their own subnet, [a] so its application can be moved anywhere on the reachable network without changing addresses. [2] A virtual IP address (VIP or VIPA) is an IP address that does not correspond to a physical network interface.
