Multiple static IPs for non-business customers?

Hello all,
Does anyone know if it is possible for plusnet to assign more than a single IP address to a non-business customer? I have a requirement for 2 addresses but I want to know from you guys if I would have to move to a business package to get > 1 static IP.
My guess is that it should be possible technically but plusnet support systems may not have the function to do this if it's not a business account?
Appreciate your time!

Hi emtunc, unfortunately we no longer offer IP blocks on residential accounts.
Is it possible to do what you need to do via NAT and port forwarding as opposed to using an IP block?

Unfortunately not - I need two distinct machines to run web servers (they cannot run on a single machine) on port 80 and 443.
Can I move to a business package without changing what I pay per month? Smiley

How about a 3rd machine to act as a proxy\connection broker  Wink
Quite a few guides about on how to do it with Nginx and Apache

You can easily front the webservers on the one IP address, if they need to be physically separated then you can do this with Apache / NginX as a reverse proxy easily enough.
The requirement of a different IP address per SSL certificate has long since been extinguished with the introduction of SNI in the TLS protocols now used for https (as long as you don't care about not supporting IE8 and earlier).
