At home server ip question

[Mathew]

So I am setting up 2 test servers on my home network for configurations but my internet will only let startup one of the servers and will block the other. How can I get another ip to get the other server to run? Do I need to buy an ip block?
Thanks

Change the port in the server settings. Make sure you forward the new port too along with the default one. (25565)

Change the port in the server settings.

But how can I have it be another ip? I am wanting to have it as another ip and not port

Impossible without some sort of VPS. What are you trying to do exactly?

I am just trying to have multiple servers run on the home network without changing my ports. Do you think buying an ip block then changing the servers ip to them would work?

Just change the port on one of the servers.... Example would be: yourip:25565 & yourip:25567. You can then hook up to a custom domain or bungee the servers together so players don't have to join using that ip.

Do you want it to be on a subnet? Let's say your IP is this:
192.168.0.1

Your first server is: 192.168.0.2

And the second server could of course be 192.168.0.3

Is that what you want?

Right but with what I am trying to do I am wanting them to be different ip's as the setup is easier for me.[DOUBLEPOST=1476826364][/DOUBLEPOST]

Yeah

If you are using a home connection, you cant just buy a another IP. Your IP to start of will be dynamic, so you don't even own the one IP that you have (it could change if your ISP decides to). You would need to invest in a business connection with multiple static IP addresses.

Your only real option is to use a different port.

Couldn't he just run the server on a different host? Like 192.168.0.3, as stated above?

Maybe,

Mathew are you planning on accessing these servers internally (on the same network) or will other people be accessing the test servers, that aren't on your local network (in a different house somewhere else)? If its just you or people on your home network, then yes you could use a subnet. But if other people are joining the servers too, which if you are testing things you might want others to see. Then it wont be very simple. Either way using a different port is by far the easiest option.
