Assign dedicated IP on Win2K server

[avu]

Hello,

I have about 10 websites running on my IIS on Win2K server. Currently, they're all configured with virtual IP, ie. IP Address = {All Unassigned}

This web server has an IP address of its own, say 111.111.111.120. And I have a few other IPs that I currently own & can use, say 111.111.111.121 to 125

Now I'd like to install a SSL certificate on one of these sites. I'm interested in purchasing a cert from EV1 Servers.

My questions are:
1. Can I just assign the IP (111.111.111.120) to this website & install the cert to it? Are there any dangers to other websites on this server?

2. If I have to assign another IP (say 111.111.111.121) to this website, do I need a new web server? Can I just assign this new IP on the current server?

Thanks much for your help.

Regards,
Allan

you can assing the IP to the cert and install the cert on the website. No danger to the other sites. You will have to change the ip from all assinged to the actual IP for the cert on that site.
