Dedicated IP购买记

上个月把blog迁移到了Bluehost,以为可以高枕无忧了,没想到星期天一早却发现网站无法打开。
我心想不会这么快就被墙了吧。马上做了一下测试,发现FTP可以正常登陆,用ping、tracert和nslookup等命令测试IP和域名也都是通的,应该没有被墙。点开Bluehost的LiveChat询问客服,人家那边也能正常打开网站。后来因为忙别的,就暂时搁置了这事。到了下午一看,发现blog又恢复正常了,着实奇怪。
本来打算一年后续费的时候,若是Blog运行情况理想,就购买dedicated IP(独立IP),现在想想,还是尽快买个独立IP比较保险,免得被别的网站牵连。下面记录一下购买过程,供有需要者参考。
一、登陆cPanel,点击Dedicated IP面板

二、点击Order Dedicated IP

三、出现一行提示:Please verify your account by calling our verifications department at (888) 401-4678, option 4 before continuing.

四、验证账户
看到上面这行提示,才知道原来自己的账户还需要走一个验证流程才能拥有完整的权限。在帮助中心找到了Validating Account Purchase的详细说明,上面说如果你在美国或加拿大,可以拨打(888) 401-4678这个电话,提供主机账户密码或信用卡号的后四位即可。如果你在别的国家,为了帮你省国际长途话费,则可提供信用卡的正反面扫描件或照片,发送到support-verification@bluehost.com。
为了确认这个流程,我又点开LiveChat骚扰Bluehost的客服,客服说,To complete verification, please provide us with a scanned or photocopy of the front and back of the credit card that was charged (cvv2 on back of credit card and first 12 digits of front of credit card can be blocked out) to support-verification@bluehost.com. Make sure to include your main domain name on all documents.
按照上面的提示,我用手机拍下信用卡的正反面,附上我的域名,同时为了安全起见,把信用卡号的前12位和安全码打上马赛克,简单写了几句话发给了Bluehost,内容如下:
Hello Bluehost:
My account is “eole.cn”.
I want to buy a Dedicated IP, the live chat service told me that in order to verify my account I will need to submit a scanned or photocopy of the front and back of the credit card that was charged.
Now I have attached my photocopy of the front and back of the credit card, please check it out and complete the verification, thank you.
Best wishes.
半天后就收到了确认信,提示我的主机账号已经获得了full access,之后回到cPanel点击Order Dedicated IP就可以直接付款购买了。成功付款后在Dedicated IP栏就能立刻看到分配给自己的专用IP地址。












学龄前,关于中国古文化,妈妈只教我背过《唐诗三百首》。对传统蒙学,如著名的“三百千”(《三字经》《百家姓》《千字文》)等,我是上学后才知道,并不曾从头到尾认真阅读过。
