    Hey there,

    I tried the tool on domain-pop.com and did the IP evaluation.

    I noticed one of the sites linking to me had a subnet duplicate IP address.

    What does this mean and how does it effect SEO?

    Thanks for any advice.

    Sincerely,
    Travis Walters

    Hey there,

    I am guessing this is a bad thing to have.

    I do not understand why my client has a similar IP than me.

    We have two different hosting solutions.

    Nevertheless, I am still looking for some clarification.

    Sincerely,
    Travis Walters

    Anybody can be a host.

    Seems two host bought server space from the same provider and you & your client now are on the same server just different IP addresses.

    As Disney said it best.

    :D

    I could not have said it better myself! This is the simple truth.

    I wouldn't sweat it too much. The worst case scenario is that the link isn't passing ANY value, but if it is a relevant page and a respectable site then I wouldn't worry about it.

    Hey there,

    The interesting thing is one host is crystaltech.com and the other is dailyrazor.com.

    Out of curiousity, is a class C duplicate IP address and a subnet duplicate IP address the same thing? If not, which one is worse for SEO?

    I am going to try to stay away from both, but I'm just curious :)

    I was actually considering transferring my domains to dailyrazor because they offer a lot more space compared to crystaltech, but I love crystaltech's support. In the long run, I will probably end up on a dedicated server.

    How does switching hosts that have the same class C or subnet IP address effect SEO? I heard somewhere that switching hosts is a bad idea. Anybody have any experience with this? I am not totally sure what I am going to do yet :)

    Sincerely,
    Travis Walters
