2 ips

[iguanashare4743]

I moved to a new VPS

I added 2 ips . does this help in loading site faster or it does not matter since am running on vps.

in other words is it a good idea having 2 ips or waste of time and money ?

you can use it as failover IP, i think it is still better than using just 1. If you really want high uptime, you need to go cloud.

i don't think this matters too much if they both point to the same server.

does vps work well with ys, i've considered it in the past for additional servers but don't know what kind of performance to expect, in addition the setup of the webserver to allow for many concurrent users

correct, its of no use if pointed to same VPS but the only concept for failover IP is that you can move that IP between VPS's or dedicated servers if your host allow this in which case you can have a script for HA where you can enable a server using heartbeat..

Multiple ips have no effect on speed or performance. They are just 2 addresses pointing to the same server.

You can put this extra ip into use by using it in the remote upload feature, downloading files with a different ip.
