Under the IP Pool menu I have 8 exclusive IP domains. I am also hosting 8 domains. I hired an IT person to assign each domain an exclusive IP but viewing the list of IP addresses and the number of domains hosted I have noticed that some IP addresses have no hosting while others have as much as 3. I have also hired another individual to install applications for each hosted domain. Can I assign each domain an exclusive IP address without it affecting what has been installed for each hosted domain? What pros and cons is there to have one IP address exclusively for one domain versus having one IP address hosting 3 domains? What would be the best way to make these changes.
Thank you.

1. Make sure the Client has the ability to use the IP numbers in question. You can do this in the control panel at Clients > [Client Name] > IP Pool.
2. Go to each of the domains you need to tweak in the control panel and click on the Setup icon. The form box at the top of the screen will let you change the IP for that domain.
You may need to tweak the DNS for the domains after changing this, I honestly don't remember if that happens automatically or not. Check it to make sure the IP numbers referenced in the local DNS uses the new IP number.
What difference does it make? None for the most part. The only time I worry about domains having their own IP number is when the site needs an SSL Cert for e-commerce purposes. Otherwise it doesn't matter.
