Conclusion
If you followed this article you should have an additional IPv4 address on your server.
What IP address should I enter?
Can I just create any #s for an IP address?
How many additional IPs can I create?
This server is showing one private IP address of 192.168.1.145
My purpose is to host 10 to 15 websites on this dedicated Server 2019. This server will only be used to host web sites. I would like to bind each IP to a specific domain.
What IP address you should add depends on your network topology.
Having said that you don't need additional IP addresses to host multiple websites, every webserver I know supports the concept of virtual hosts which will show the correct content for any given website based on the hostname in the URL someone enters to visit the website.
