How to point a domain to an IP?

[Simon46]

I'v order a VPS, and they provide me one IP, as I have other IP, I want to add them to my VPS, otherwise, I also want to point my domain to them, how can I do it, as the VPS provider doesn't give me support to add other IP which are not bought from theirs?

You first need to contact who you are leasing the additional IP address from. They will need to configure it so it points to your new server. Actually I believe they need the MAC address of the router your VPS is behind. Then your VPS provider points it to your server from the router.

You can ask your hosting provider to setup RDNS for both the IPs. Provide the domains name to which IPs need to point to.

You have to ask to your vps provider because a vps use only a single network interface and it require to make a bridge to use 2 IPs on the same interface. But it should not be a problem, I have already setup up to 10 IPs on the same VPS.

You can ask your hosting provider to setup RDNS for both the IPs. Provide the domains name to which IPs need to point to.

Without hosting email on the IP, Reverse DNS are not needed. And it require to add an A record for the domain anyway

Simply contact domain name registrar and ask them set domain name registrar end nameservers for your domain and set A record for your domain as per your VPS ip address, but make sure that you have added domain entry in vhost entry with proper document root path.
