What is the IP address of my virtual host?

Published: 2010-01-20

Answer: Our company's virtual hosting uses a distributed.cluster architecture, and is no longer a single IP address. The virtual hosting control panel will indicate:
Upload address: *****.gotoftp5.com
Resolution alias: *****.gotoip5.com

When uploading files, just use this address: *****.gotoftp5.com to upload, and set the domain resolution alias (Cname) to: *****.gotoip5.com

Domain name resolution guide: http://www.west.cn/faq/list.asp?unid=19 

If a top-level domain without www cannot be aliased, please resolve it according to the method at http://www.west.cn/faq/list.asp?unid=401.

There are many disadvantages to resolving directly to an IP, because the IP address may change during use for various reasons. If the resolution cannot be updated in time, the website cannot be opened. However, the alias we provide is permanent and unchanging. After all virtual hosts are activated, they will be assigned a permanent upload and resolution address. In the future, whether changing the IP, changing the data center, changing the server, etc., there is no need to resolve again, reducing the failure rate.

In website filing and other steps, if you need to fill in an IP, you can click "Start"> Run, type cmd and press Enter,
then enter: ping *****.gotoftp5.com  -t to find out the IP of the virtual host. (Please ping your upload address)

Our company does not recommend directly using an IP address in processes such as domain resolution and program calls.
